I have been intending to knit this pattern for a long time now and I keep forgetting about it. I just started a new pair of slippers yesterday, too! I love the look of these them, but I see that some are having a problem with the pattern. I will try it anyway and report back if I find any problems or solutions to them.

Is there a way to make this slipper on a round loom and if so, do you have a pattern?

Hi there, We don't have a loom pattern for these slippers but you should definitely check out our pattern for Made to Fit Double Knit Slippers, which is a loom pattern. Thanks!

I have made one othe the slippers> I had to sew the heel to the rest of the shoe . I don't know if this is right or not. Also I don't know how to make the button hole and where to put it. Can anyone help me and tell me if I should sew the heel or if I did that wrong and how to do the button hole? Thank you

My first slippers: wondering where it says at the start "...13 sts. Cont even for 2" [5 cm] in total, ending with a WS row." is that 5 cm from cast on stiches or from the 13 sts?

This pattern is very difficult to follow. Seems like there should be some corrections.

MsCookie yes of course it is possible to increase with stitches already on the needle Just wind the thread on the needle as many times as the number of stitches then on the following row take care to knit each and every loop You should increase one stitch every th row until you end up with stitches on the needle I made this slippers and modified the pattern a little so they look even better and are more comfortable At the first cast on when you begin the sole you should increase on each side with a number of stitched equal to the number of rows knitted so far Then WORK EVENLY until you reach the place on the foot where the two sides should be sewn Then increase with a number of stitches enough to cover the foot tightly However you should stick with the pattern It is great for…Read More creating a solid sturdy texture You can also extend their life by adding external soles created from recycled stockings Cut a stocking in a continuous circular ribbon about inches wide then braid three of these ribbons Coil the braid in the shape of a sole and secure the shape by sewing it Sew the soles on the outside of the slippers

Might be ok with a solid yarn, but with the mixed yarn the seam on top of the foot looks terrible. I could see a seam at the back but not at its' current location.

This looks like a great slipper...............I just don't understand all the instructions. What do you mean by "inc 1 st each end of needle on 4th and every following 6th row 3 times. 13 sts." What would "every following 6th row" be? Also, "Cast on 17 sts beg next 2 rows. 47 sts." Is it possible to cast on with stitches already on the needles? ANd were do you get 47 stitches from afterward? THanks

The even part should be much longer than 6 cm for size 6. Also the part after the first cast on(At the 17 stiches each side). Almost double, in fact. You should measure it continuosly on the foot.
