Instructions
Cast on stitches and knit the sole.
- Cast on 27 stitches with your chosen yarn and needles.
- Knit 1 row (all knit stitches).
- Knit 6 rows in alternating knit and purl rows (knit 1 row, purl 1 row).
Change color and knit the sides.
Attach a new color of yarn to the side of the cast-on stitches.
- Knit 2 rows with the new color.
- In the following row, knit 2 stitches together at the beginning of the row to incorporate the working yarn into the stitch.
- Continue knitting rows with the new color, knitting the first stitch and purling the last stitch of each row.
Repeat color sequence and knit the top of the foot.
- Knit 2 rows with a new color of yarn.
- Knit 4 rows with another new color of yarn.
- Knit 2 rows with white yarn.
- Repeat the color sequence (2 rows new color, 4 rows another new color, 2 rows white yarn) until you have a total of 8 colored stripes.
Knit the heel.
Continue knitting up the side of the cast-on stitches in the same color as the last color stripe.
- Knit until the height of the heel piece reaches your desired height (stopping at the point where the heel starts curving on your foot).
Close the heel.
Thread a tapestry needle with yarn and sew the cast-on stitches together to close the heel.
Graft the toe.
- With the tapestry needle and yarn, sew the stitches on the top of the foot together to close the toe.
Finish the slippers.
- Weave in all loose ends.
- Optionally, add a pompom or other embellishment to the top of the slipper.
Tips
- Cast on a few extra stitches if your gauge is looser than recommended.
- You can adjust the number of color stripes to your preference.
- Be sure to sew the heel and toe closed securely so the slippers don't gape.
