This is a great pattern for a beginning knitter or for a more experienced
knitter that wants to create a quick pair of slippers. This pattern makes
a slipper about 7" long.
Materials:
Worsted Weight Yarn
Size 7 knitting needles
Cast on 42 sts.
Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for 24 rows.
Bind off 9 sts at the beginning of the next row. Knit to end of row. Repeat for next row.
Work in garter stitch on remaining 24 sts for 16 rows. Bind off leaving a 16" tail.
Fold piece in half.
Take bound off sts and run the tail through these sts. Gather tight and tie to keep from coming undone. Then use a yarn needle and the tail to sew the top seam. If you want to have a roll down top then continue the seam for a cuff. Fasten off. Take the beginning tail and use with the yarn needle to sew the back seam. Fasten off. Weave in ends. Turn right side out and roll or fold down the top.
For a moccasin slipper do as shown above but do not sew seam that creates the cuff. Turn right side out, fold down flap and attach yarn like tassels to make the fringe.
