I realise that I must have some form of obsession with knitted slippers – it is not inheritable as I regularly have to remind my boys to put their slippers on around the house. Yet, it is a project I come back to repeatedly. I love their warmth as my extremities tend to be cold even in the summer, I like their individual style, and I like the fact that they are instantly washable unlike many factory made ones.

There is just nothing that you couldn’t fashion into a pair of slippers!
If you’re still not convinced, the basic pattern for a slipper is a rectangle to wrap around your foot. Are you convinced now?
I’m currently still struggling to finish a couple of projects from before Christmas. I have a few new patterns in the offing, so keep in touch, as there is more to come!
Any patterns for knitting looms? I’ve made socks on one of your looms and they are lovely and warm. Maybe a larger version would work as slippers.
The second one down is for a knitting loom. http://loomknitting.sophiaburns.com/2012/04/simplest-slippers.html
š Looks interesting. I wonder how that blue loom matches to the ones I got from Judit? Maybe I can work it out from the video. Thanks for the link.
Although, of course, those ARE baby slippers. I guess I’ll just make some up. That’s what I usually do any way. :D:D
There are a couple of good videos on FB on slippers on knitting looms! That should keep you going for a while : )
Don’t forget the Sale is on at the moment so lots of bulky yarn going cheap….
I like them all and now want to make slippers!
Welcome to the Slippers Club š
Is there a pattern for the urban booties anywhere? They look lovely.
Which slippers do you call urban? If you let me know I’ll dig it out for you.
The one that has urban knit on the button, 3rd one down. Thank you.
Here is something very similar

And now that I found it, I’m very tempted to make them too…
