Notes

my gauge is 14sts pattern calls for 16sts

Ohh my heavens… I’m in loOO0OOOoove. These were a blast to knit! I struggled on the first slipper as I was trying to knit it with DPNS, and found that to quite fiddly. Then I saw Mardegull’s notes about knitting the entire slipper on a 16” circular! So i did that for Slipper #2 and it worked like a charm.

These are hands-down the most wearable slippers I’ve ever come across. Will be making A LOT of these.

I copied my friend Lesley’s yycknits’ Woodland Loafers recommendation and used German Short Rows instead of wrap & turns. This video here was key for me figuring out how to substitute German Short Rows for wrap & turns: Mimi Kezer Substituting German Short Rows.
