Materials Needed

  • Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in black and white
  • Needles: US size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
  • Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cuff

  1. Using black yarn, cast on 20 stitches.
  2. Work in *K1, P1* ribbing for 4 rows. This creates a snug cuff around your ankle.

2. Leg

  1. Switch to white yarn.
  2. For rows 5-10, knit all rows to create a garter stitch texture.

3. Heel Flap

  1. Change back to black yarn.
  2. For rows 11-16, work *Slip 1, K1* across the row.
  3. Turn your work.
  4. For rows 17-22, work *Slip 1, P1* across the row.

4. Turn Heel

  1. On row 23, knit 12 stitches, then perform a k2tog (knit two together) and turn your work.
  2. On row 24, purl 8 stitches, then perform a p2tog (purl two together) and turn your work.
  3. Continue this process, knitting and purling until all stitches are worked, creating a rounded heel.

5. Foot

  1. With white yarn, pick up stitches along the heel flap.
  2. Join in the round and knit for 10 rounds to form the foot of the slipper.

6. Toe

  1. Switch to black yarn.
  2. For round 1, work *K2tog* around the entire round.
  3. For round 2, simply knit all stitches.
  4. Repeat rounds 1 and 2 until you have 8 stitches remaining.
  5. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use a tapestry needle to weave through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close the toe.

7. Finishing

  1. Weave in all ends securely using the tapestry needle.
  2. If necessary, block the slippers to shape them properly.
