Toastie Slippers

Wow, it has been a little while since I posted here!

I made some slippers recently to sell at the upcoming advent creative market that takes place in my town every year. I found some great value super bulky yarn and decided to make slippers out of it.

They are basically just very simple toe-up socks with a short row heel. I decided to share the pattern with you my lovely readers… 🙂

Rd 2: *K1, M1, K1, M1, K1*, rep (10 sts)
Rd 3: K
Rd 4: *K1, M1, K3, M1, K1*, rep (14 sts)
Rd 5: K
Rd 6: *K1, M1, K5, M1, K1*, rep (18 sts)

The heel is knit only on half the stiches, back and forth

Leg

You are now done with the heel and will resume knitting in the rd on all 18 sts. On the first rd, you will pick up the two wraps make on the first and last sts of the top of the foot, these will close the gap with the heel without creating a hole.

Baby Slipper Sock Pattern Is Being Tested

Mosaiko is my latest design, a pair of slipper socks for babies in two colours. It’s being tested right now and should be released soon. Unfortunately I don’t have a cute baby to model them!

Leftover Slippers Finished

These turned out to be a proper leftover project! It turned out that I did not even have enough of the green yarn left to make the whole foot of the second slipper, so I sneaked a bit of red in there. Nevertheless, I think they turned out really cute and Connor loves them!

Leftover Slippers

I’m making some simple, quick slippers for Connor with the leftover wool from his silly hat. I have finished one, the second one will be made with the green yarn for the foot part as I used up all the blue/grey yarn. The ankle ribbing part will be done in the same colour.
