Hello. I love the look of these slippers, but I'd like to make them for some of my younger cousins who are Youth size 1 and 3. Does anyone know how the pattern may be modified to make these sizes for children. I saw another comment that said she traced her grandchildren's feet, but I want these for Christmas and don't want to ruin the surprise.
Editor Dana
Sep 03, 2019
Hi there! I have a couple ideas. You could try tracing your younger cousins' shoes instead of their feet to keep it a surprise! I'd also suggest posting your question in our AllFreeKnitting community on facebook! They are a super active group and should have some great ideas for resizing the pattern. Good luck!

Taking all stitches off with a yarn threaded yarn needle.....is.....a decrease from 30 something to one.....just sayin'.....

I made this slipper and the last row #4, the count is wrong. I found the same pattern by another company and the count should be 30(34-38) to get the correct length.

My slipper looks like crap! It came out too big and the back looks wrong.
Editor Dana
Nov 14, 2017
Hi there! I actually think the slipper looks lovely! I love that green yarn. I asked our resident knitting expert and she thinks the back might have been an issue of not pulling the yarn tightly enough to close it up. It also might be a tension issue with the size, and maybe trying a slightly smaller size would be helpful? I know that's a ton of extra work though! Hopefully others can help. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment.

It has been noted by a couple other knitter's that this pattern requires a row to reduce the number of stitches before running the end through I have an old pattern for these slippers and it states to knit together on the last row I did notice that your slipper does appear to be a little loose giving it the sloppy look I suggest that you go down at least needle size because you are appear to be a loose knitter and another comment about tightening up the yarn should also help These slippers should be a firm knit there really shouldn't be any drape or not much give to them The tension of these slippers should be quite firm not at all relaxed The slipper does appear to have been made correctly but the lack of tension in the yarn is what is making it look incorrect and the back…Read More to not look right I hope I am explaining this in a way that it can be understood

Hi! This pattern is very good except in the following area. Shaping the toe section Where are the decrease rounds? The Finishing section states to "draw the end through the remaining stitches". This suggests decrease rounds. Can you please look at the instructions and advise or update?
Editor Dana
Feb 06, 2017
Hi there! In the comment below, one of our resident knitting experts discusses finishing. Let me know if this helps, otherwise I'll check in with her and hopefully she can answer your question! ---- "If I'm reading the instructions correctly, you do NOT cast off on the last row, but rather snip your yarn (leaving it about 8" long), and, using your sewing needle, pull the yarn through the live stitches remaining on your needle. You then slip the needle out, and pull the yarn tightly. Much like finishing off the top of a hat!"
RedRobbins
Feb 06, 2017
Hi! I understand that you shouldn't cast off, I'm asking about decrease rounds. The instructions state to "pull the yarn through the live stitches remaining on your needle". As I stated previously, this suggests that there should be decrease rounds (rows) prior to pull the yarn through the stitches. Thanks for your patience and help.
Editor Dana
Feb 07, 2017
Hi there! I just asked our knitting expert and this is what she said: "According to the way the pattern is written, there are no decrease rounds, so you would be threading the yarn through all 29 stitches. If it doesn't look right after doing that, then it's an error on the designer's part and she forgot to include decreases. However, if you look at the image of the slippers themselves, it definitely looks reasonable that there were no toe decreases (looks like a lot of stitches were gathered together at the end)." I hope that helps!
Lisa
Apr 11, 2017
I saw your question about this pattern and realized you are correct, the toe will not close properly without a decrease. I've knit these same slippers from a pattern from Beehive. My copy is so old that the white has gone to yellow and dark brown in some places, the copyright notation says 1939, anyway the last row of the pattern states to knit 2 together across before running the yarn through the remaining stitches to gather the toe. I've been using it for over 50 years and it works well. Hope this helps someone. Happy knitting!

This is such a classic pattern. It brings back memories of going to family members houses when I was a child. There was always a box full of slippers just like these near the door for whoever came in to put on. I have used this pattern many times myself. It is not only a family favorite, but also a tradition.

Many years ago, 1960's I started knitting, and these slippers were the 1st project, actually made 6 pairs for our 6 children, they were the 1st Christmas present, put the present on on the foot of their bed along with a new bathrobe. Also made them for myself, and my dear Father-in-law. I lost the directions, but a few years ago took a stab at making a pair, and I found the directions deep in my memory. It was a great beginning of knitting and crocheting for my entire family.

The pattern I had, you draw a long piece of the yarn through the stitches left on the needles and draw through stitches, remove from needle and pull the long piece of yarn which then makes a nice finish to the slipper. I always made 2 at one time, that way they were always the same length.

@cyndeetrek 0589787 we do not have an exact size chart for this, but the sizing should be similar to store bought sizing. I would also recommend commenting any of the crafters below to see how there's turned out size wise for some guidance. Hope that helps! -Kaylee, Editor of FaveCrafts.com

These are sweet little slippers and remind me of the ones I wore as a kid. I am pretty sure neither grandmother knit, so I suspect my mom made them. I suggest some puffy paint or silicone dots on the soles of the slippers to help prevent falls on slick flooring. I wonder if there are some sew on options to give better traction.

Row 4 states to repeat rows 1 2 for 19 ridges formed, which would be incorrect. I believe it's intended to repeat rows 2 3.

i have a question about shaping the toe. It says do a rib stitch for 16 rows, does it mean with all the 41 stitches? then it says pass the 8"yarn through the remaining stitches? which ones? I am supposed to cast off the two sides? Thanks
Melissa Ryan
May 29, 2014
Hi Claireberke--Thanks for the comment. It looks like you repeat rows 1 and 2 until you get 16 rows, then repeat row 1 only. Then you draw the string through all the stitches to gather it into a tight bunch and tie off. If you're still unsure of the instructions, we suggest contacting the designer directly. You can find her info by clicking her name on the byline. Thanks! --FaveCrafts editor

Hi Gillian, The yarn can probably be whatever you'd like, as long as you pay attention to the gauge. I'd suggest using yarn that's soft and comfortable...sometimes wool yarn can be itchy. Hope that helps! --The Editors of FaveCrafts.com

Jan 15, 2014
When you do straight knitting on a garment, the knitting comes out in ridges-this is how you count rows in knitting-depending on how you knit, this is usually about 30 rows. hope this helps.

May 22, 2013
"Remaining stitches" refers to all the stitches left on your needle. Thread the 8" of yarn through a yarn needle (big eyed) and weave it through the stitches on your knitting needle. Draw it up real tight and tie it off with a knot.

I too love this pattern. so easily adapted to any size. I make them for babies 3-12 months or so. I often make the ribbed section higher so it sits up around the ankle like a little boot, and for babies in bouncers I have put a little bell on the toes and as the baby kicked the little bells tinkled. So cute. My daughter loved hers and was happy for ages just kicking away making tickles which she didn't realize as first she was making happen. I still make them to this day in all sizes for my family, if you are unsure of sizes, make a pair and look at it carefully, it is very easy to then see where you can increase the sizing. Knitting in rib to the bit where you join for in front of the foot makes them stay on better.

Jan 24, 2014
Hi I was wondering how you make the ribbed section higher? Do you mean that you increase the number of stitches cast on for the first part then decrease stitches when you come to the toe part?

These are such nice slippers and easy to make. They should be considered bed slippers though as any yarn is slippery on hard flooring. You can put Duct tape on the bottoms or cut a leather sole to sew on the bottoms.

It's a lot easier to dab dots of dimentional fabric paint on the bottom. It sticks quite well. Let dry for a couple of days before use.

Jan 28, 2013
these are very easy to knit and if you don't think they will foot knit the sole until it is almost as long as your foot then knit the toe . Also if they are to slippery on the floor here is a simple simple fix. Put dots of fabric puffy paint on the soles. Let them dry and no more slips.......... just turn them inside out to wash and dry.

trudyvetter 435104 5
Jan 28, 2013
the small should fit a ladies small foot up to size seven and the medium should fit men and ladies and the large also. Use fabric puff paint dots on the soles and let dry and they will not be slippery anymore. This will not wash off in the laundry, and you can get quite decorative with the patterns on the foot with the paint.

these were the first thing I ever learned to knit.. I was excited to find this pattern. there are many versions but this one is the easiest, the only thing I do different , is to decrease the stitches by knitting two stitches together on the last row and then purl the next row, then knit two together across the row. that makes the toe rounded and not so many stitches to pull thread through, but then finish them off the same way

THAT IS WHERE I AM CONFUSED WHERE IS THE "ROW" I AM DOING THE K1,P1, REPEAT ... THAT IS THE ROW I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT .. i feel so 'dumb' ... i've crocheted for 30 yrs plus so this is a new territory for me. thanks plz and ty Kim

my friend use to make these. I think after your first 15(17,19) you start the shaping of the toe...you just continue. Shape Toe row 1 would be the first row after your ridges end you don't end on ridge 15, etc. you keep the pattern going and this is where the shaping would start. I hope i did not confuse you.
Karenjohnsonar 161 0628
Jan 04, 2013
The first part of the pattern is a garter stitch, so after you have finished your 15(17,19) ridges your are ready to start the toe shaping rows. All your stitches are still on your needles and you are going to start a new stitch pattern, 1x1 rib. That's basically knit1 purl1, which causes your knitted piece to draw in which is what gives you your toe shaping with the same number of stitches. Hope this helps.karen

Since then I have knitted this shoe for 4 children for many years, later I knitted for friends, relatives, grandchildren (8). They fit every one and are so comfy. Good Luck. You will never find another pattern so easy. arb

These slippers are older than I am - I've seen them in multiple "learn to knit" books and I still love them.

I liked this pattern. But my Grandsons wanted a cuff so I crocheted one and it turned out really cute. Thanks for sharing this pattern.

I've made tons of these slippers and love them but, I was more interested in Mary Gaines. My maiden name is Gaines and was curious as to if we might be related? My grandfather was born in Texas and my dad was born in Caddo , OK. Most of my family now live in California in the Madera area. Would love to hear from you if you are interested. I'll check back for comments and give you my email address.

Hi Lisa, When working row 2 of the Outer Moc you only repeat from the * p1, k9 once more. (see the star) Your row would be to: K9 P1 K9 P1 K9 giving you the 29 stiches for that row. No increase. You might not have worked that row properly. Also, Toe rows 1 & 2 only repeat from * as instructed. I hope this helps you.

Is this pattern for children??? I thought it was for adults, but after knitting one discovered they are very small, for a toddler

This is the exact same slipper pattern the instructor used for the knitting class when I learned to knit. I will use it to teach my grand daughter who wants to learn to knit. So happy I found the pattern. Dee G

@suitenaples 0375443: According to the gauge listed at the beginning of the pattern, these moccasins should be about 8 inches long. Hope this helps! -- Editor of FaveCrafts

i am just bursting to make these slippers - has anyone any idea how if the medium size would fit my granddaughter who is 12 years old she is not a small child i feel the medium would do it but hate to put the work into and find they don't fit thank you ethel

These slippers are so easy, and they knit up really fast. I am a beginning knitter and I am making them for gifts. I find it easier to keep track of which row i am on, and how many ridges I have made, if I write it down as I am knitting. KUDOS to Mary, for a fantastic, easy pattern. Do you have any more real easy patterns? =)

When you have to pull the toe part tightly together, why does the pattern say that you start at the beginning of the ribbing to form the toe? Why don't you start at the toe and end at the beginning of the ribbing since the string of yarn is already at the end of the toe?

Has anyone made this pattern and felted the slippers? I would like to do that but am not sure how to adjust the pattern to allow for the shrinkage when it is felted. Any suggestions?

I have been looking for this pattern for several years, many many years ago when I was in nursing school and had little money for Christmas gifts, I made these for all members of my family! Somehow through the years I lost the pattern. Thanks for bringing it to me again. I have made a similar version in crochet, but prefer the knitted ones. thanks Sue W

Question- I'd like to make some for my 4yr old Grandaughter and almost 2yr old grandson. Could you give child sizes?

I can't believe I've found this pattern! My Grandma did make several pairs of these slippers! Makes me want to get started on them now!

I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean by "ridges" Could you tell me how many rows it takes for a ridge? Thank You
