Simple Knitted, Lace-up Slipper

Materials:

(2) Skeins of Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick, and 2 yards of scrap yarn for shoelaces
28” Knitting Board
Crochet Hook
Large Eyed Needle

Instructions:

Cast On (24) stitches, starting on pin #30. Place loop on top board and weave the 24 stitches. Lay the anchor yarn. (Use a strong yarn for your anchor yarn.) Weave again and hook over. Stitches are cast on.
Knit 2 rows.
Increase Row-Increase (1) stitch, both boards at both ends of board. Weave and hook over. Now you have (26) stitches on the pins.
For size 6-8.5 size shoe, knit (27) additional rows. Bind Off.
For size 9-11 size shoe, knit for (29) additional rows. Bind Off.
Now you are ready to sew your piece together. Take the anchor yarn and pull the yarn very snuggly and knot a couple times. (photo A.) This will be the toe of the slipper. Then, with needle and matching yarn, sew up slipper about half way to allow opening for foot. Sew back edges for heel. (photo B.)
(OPTIONAL) Shoelace: Crochet a chain with ½ of your scrap yarn. Lace thru the slipper. Now you are ready to complete your second slipper.

I also love the patterns, but do not have a knitting board. Is there a way to convert the knitting board patterns to knitting needles?

Is it possible for you to put on a picture of a knitting board? I think I have one but just call it something different. Thanks Beth

to knit on regular needles follow the pattern as it is using size 8 knitting needles and knit until the slipper is the desired length. Cast off. finish using directions above. I have made these using knitting needles using smaller needles for smaller size and no larger than size 8 for larger slippers.

Does anyone have instructions for this pattern with regular knitting needles? Perhaps, an easy pattern for beginner knitters? It would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

i agree with knittinnelly. I do not have a knitting board, and don't intend to get one, but would like to knit some of these items on regular knitting needles. Is there a way you can print instructions for regular knitting? Thanks

How about instructions for regular knitting with knitting needles? I do not like to use something like knitting boards. It is not the same as using knitting needles. I like the slippers, but would prefer to use knitting needles. Thanks.
