Remember THOSE slippers? Garter stitch at the heel, ribbing down the foot, a thick seam going from toe to ankle and another seam down the back of the heel? And you thought, “If only I got rid of the seams, these would be so comfy?”

Well, here you go. Those slippers Grandma made, with all the retro charm, but none of the annoying seams!

Adult small fits a women’s size 5-7 shoe
Adult medium fits a women’s size 8-10, men’s size 6-8
Adult large fits a women’s size 11-13, men’s size 9-11

Gauge is worked over garter stitch, with 15 stitches and 15 garter ridges equaling 4 inches.

Any bulky-weight wool, wool-blend, or wool-substitute yarn will work well for this pattern.

Yarn used: 1 (2, 2) skein(s) Cascade 128 Superwash or other bulky Superwash wool or wool-blend yarn.

The optional pom-poms use a LOT of yarn. You will probably need an extra skein for the pom-pom.

Other notions needed - a pom-pom maker for the optional pom-pom
