How to Make Very Easy Knitted Slippers

A Step-by-Step Tutorial for Beginners

If you can knit and purl, you can make these slippers! They are worked flat on two needles, come together quickly, and are perfect for learning the basics while creating something useful and cozy.

Materials You’ll Need

Yarn:
- Medium or bulky weight yarn (Category 4 or 5)
- Soft acrylic or wool blend
Knitting Needles:
- Size 5–6 mm (US 8–10), straight needles
Scissors
Yarn needle
Measuring tape

Stitches Used (Beginner Level)

Knit stitch (K)
Purl stitch (P)
Knit two together (K2tog)
Cast on
Bind off

✔️ No complicated techniques or patterns.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cast On

Cast on 36 stitches (adjust for foot size).
Knit every row for 4 rows (garter stitch).

🧶 This creates a stretchy and comfortable base.

Step 2: Knit the Slipper Body

Switch to stockinette stitch:
- Knit 1 row
- Purl 1 row
Continue until the piece measures the length of your foot.

📏 Try it on as you go for a perfect fit.

Step 3: Shape the Toe (Very Easy!)

Knit 2 stitches together at the beginning and end of every knit row.
Continue until about 12 stitches remain.

👣 This gently shapes the toe without complex counting.

Step 4: Bind Off

Bind off loosely.
Cut yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Step 5: Assemble the Slipper

Fold the piece in half, right sides together.
Sew the toe seam.
Sew the heel seam.
Turn the slipper right side out.

✨ Repeat the same steps for the second slipper.

Optional: Add a Simple Cuff

Pick up stitches around the opening.
Knit K1, P1 rib for 6–8 rows.
Bind off loosely.
