Skill Level

Beginner

Basic Stitches

Cast on
Knit stitch
Purl stitch
Cast off (bind off)

Step 1: Cast On

Cast on 32–40 stitches, depending on your foot size and yarn thickness.

Small: 32 stitches
Medium: 36 stitches
Large: 40 stitches

Keep your stitches relaxed to ensure comfort.

Step 2: Knit the Slipper Body

Knit in garter stitch (knit every row)
Continue knitting until the piece measures about:
- 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) long
This flat rectangle will form the entire slipper

Garter stitch is perfect for beginners because it:

Doesn’t curl
Is stretchy and soft
Looks neat on both sides

Step 3: Shape the Toe

Fold the knitted piece in half widthwise
Sew one short side together using a tapestry needle
Pull gently to create a rounded toe shape
Secure with a knot

Step 4: Shape the Heel

Sew the back edge halfway up
Leave the top open for your foot
Adjust the opening for a snug but comfortable fit

Step 5: Finish the Slipper

Weave in all loose ends
Turn the slipper right side out
Try it on and adjust if needed

Repeat all steps for the second slipper.

Optional Simple Additions

Once you’re comfortable, you can:

Add a ribbed cuff at the opening
Decorate with buttons, bows, or pom-poms
Use two colors of yarn
Add non-slip dots to the sole

Helpful Tips for Beginners

Use bulky yarn to finish faster
Knit slightly snug so slippers don’t stretch out
Don’t worry about small mistakes—they won’t show
Always make the second slipper immediately!

✔ Very easy construction
✔ No complex shaping
✔ Quick and satisfying project
