slippers


Basic Slipper Pattern:

http://www.eviesyarn.com/Free%20patterns.htm

MATERIALS:
US 9 (5.5 mm) needle
US 11 (8.0 mm) needle for bind off
Worsted weight yarn 7 ounce skein (plenty for all sizes)
Fun Fur 2 balls (1 ball is enough for smallest size)

Gauge: 3-1/2 stitches to the inch

Directions are for 6 (7-8-9-10-11-12) inch slippers.

With double strand of worsted weight, cast on 44 (50-56-62-68-74-80) stitches.

Work in garter stitch for 2 inches.

Cut off one strand of worsted weight and begin knitting with one strand of worsted and one of novelty yarn.

Knit the next row placing a marker between the center stitches.

Row 1: Knit to within 6 stitches of marker, k2 tog 3 times, slip marker, k2 tog 3 times, k1, turn, purl 8, turn and knit to end of row.

Row 2: Purl across.

Repeat these 2 rows until 26 stitches remain, ending with purl row.

Work in stockinet for 5 rows.

Work 5 rows in k1-p1 ribbing. Bind off loosely (this is the cuff of slipper). Use size 11 needle to bind off.


Fold in half purl sides together (the purl side is fuzzier). Sew bottom and back using one strand of the cast on tails for each seam.


Bootie pictured is the 6 inch size, which is a children’s size 8.

loom baby ugg's


Tools: small round blue Knifty Knitter loom, 1 skien Vanna White yarn in taupe, 1 skien fuzzy tan yarn

Calf to Ankle:

Using the blue kk loom, cast on 10 pegs using e-wrap and knit 24 rows back and forth. This will knit a flat peice. After kniting 24 rows, crochet off. Put this peice aside.

Toe:

Using the blue kk loom, cast on 8 pegs and knit 16 rows back and forth using e-wrap. Crochet off, and set aside.

Heel:

Cast on blue kk loom 5 pegs and knit 8 rows back and forth using e-wrap. Crochet off.

Now, get the peice made for the toe. Turn inside out and sew up one end and two sides leaving the other end open. Turn right side out and set aside.

Take the panel you made for the calf to ankle and turn inside out sewing the two ends together. Turn right side out once this is done and set aside.

Now, take the heel peice lengthwise and sew one end to the bottom of the opening for the toe. Once it is attached to the bottom of the toe, get the calf to ankle peice and sew the front of it to the top of the toe opening, gradually sewing around until you get to the heel peice. Then sew the heel to the calf to ankle peice going around until all three peices are sewed together.

Once this is done, cut a long strand of the fuzzy yarn and go around the top of the boot basically whipping the yarn on around it. Then you will sew a line down to the toe at a slant. Once you have done this and the yarn is above the toe, then sew around to each side with the fuzzy yarn.

And your done!! I hope you all will try this pattern and share with me your results! If anyone has any questions feel free to let me know! I hope you all like them!

Aunt Alm died last summer (1998), and I know she's just sitting up there waiting for us to cast on ... but she also wouldn't mind if we edited her pattern a little.

These are the official Knitu Dorm Boots!!! Knit on....

Fuzzy knitted boot slippers


Knitted Boot Slippers - Child
This is a favorite pattern of mine and I have created a crocheted version of it for those that don't knit. Here is the knitted version.

Materials:
1 to 3 yrs of age size # 6 needles
4 to 6 yrs of age size # 8 needles
Knitting Worsted Yarn

Cast on 52 sts and work 8 rows of garter st. (knit each row).

Row 9: Knit 22 sts, k2 tog; put a marker on needle; k2, put another marker on needle; slip 1 st, k1, pass slip st over, knit to the end of the row.

Row 10: Purl to marker, K2, purl to end of row.

Row 11: Knit to within 2 sts of marker, k 2 tog, move marker, k 2, move marker, slip 1, k1, pass slip stitch over, knit to end of row.

Repeat Rows 10 and 11 until only 28sts remain on needle.

Then knit 8 rows of garter sts and on 9th row, bind off loosely.

Sew sole and back heel seams together.

Variations:

Try using baby yarn and size 4 needles for baby size booties. If you want to make
the foot to be longer or shorter just add or subtract stitches from the cast on total in
increments of two.

My pink and white variation it the same pattern but changes where it says to knit 8 rows even.
I fasten off the pink and tie on one strand of white sport weight yarn and one strand of white
eyelash yarn. Using these two strands of white yarns I knit the 8 rows evenly. This makes for
a soft fuzzy top on the slipper.

loom slippers


"No Short Rowing Slippers"--Loom




The knitting loom patterns I make up are fairly easy and pretty basic. They are great for teaching loom knitting and quick patterns for the seasoned knitter.

This pattern is for my “No Short Rowing Slippers”. The knitting starts at the heel and works on down to the toe of the slipper.

These are quick and easy and make great last minute gifts. This pattern is for an adult but you can easily adjust the size by adding or subtracting rows.

There is no short rowing to keep tract of for the heel, which adds to the ease of this pattern. I hope you enjoy these slippers as much as my family does.

There is plenty of knitting loom patterns coming to the site so be sure and check back.









No Short rowing Heel Slippers

Adult Slippers


Materials needed:

Blue Knifty Knitter 24 peg round loom

3 strands sports weight yarn


Ewrap 24 pegs (do not connect)

1. Reverse direction and ewrap the pegs again.

2. Knit across

3 – 19 Repeat rows 1 and 2

Now you will knit around in a tube. (do not reverse anymore)

20 – 33 Knit around

With a large eyed needle, string off toes end. Pull tight and tie off.

Sew up heel end of slipper with a slipstitch.

Chain 75 and weave thru ankle part of slippers. Make pom poms for decoration if you wish. (My husband doesn’t want pom poms)

I do most of my knitting in the evening watching TV and this is one of those projects we can complete in one evening without a lot of concentration.

You know we all love to have a few mindless patterns too.

This pattern is ideal for those last minute gifts also.

The pattern is worked from heel to toe so you can add rows to make it larger or subtract rows to make it smaller.That is the great thing about this pattern. It is simple to adjust but also a nice finished project. Just go by the foot length.
