How to Knit Very Easy Slippers
Perfect for Absolute Beginners
These slippers are made flat on two needles, using simple stitches only, and require minimal sewing. No complicated shaping, no counting stress!
1. What You’ll Need
🧶 Materials
-
Yarn:
-
Medium / worsted weight yarn
-
Wool or wool blend (warm and stretchy)
-
About 100 g
-
-
Knitting needles:
-
Size 5 mm (US 8) straight needles
-

2. Size Guide (Easy to Adjust!)
This pattern fits an average adult foot.
To resize:
-
More stitches = wider slipper
-
More rows = longer slipper

3. Stitches Used (Super Easy!)
You only need:
-
Knit stitch
-
Purl stitch
-
Knit 2 together (basic decrease)
-
Cast on & bind off
Stitch patterns:
-
Garter stitch – knit every row
-
Stockinette stitch – knit one row, purl one row
4. Gauge (Not Critical!)
Approximate gauge:
-
18 stitches = 10 cm (4 in)
Slippers are forgiving, so don’t stress 😊
5. Step-by-Step Instructions
STEP 1: Cast On
-
Cast on 40 stitches
-
Knit every row (garter stitch) for 10 rows
This creates a stretchy sole and prevents curling.
STEP 2: Knit the Foot
-
Switch to stockinette stitch
-
Row 1 (right side): knit
-
Row 2 (wrong side): purl
-
-
Continue until your work measures 22–24 cm (8.5–9.5 in)
This section forms the main foot.

STEP 3: Shape the Toe (Very Easy!)
-
Knit 2 together at:
-
Beginning of the row
-
End of the row
-
-
Purl the next row
-
Repeat these 2 rows until 10 stitches remain
The toe naturally shapes itself—no stress!
STEP 4: Bind Off
-
Bind off loosely
-
Leave a long yarn tail for sewing
6. Finishing (Simple Sewing!)
-
Fold the piece in half lengthwise
-
Sew:
-
The toe seam
-
The back heel seam
-
-
Do not sew the sides flat—they form the slipper shape naturally
Weave in all ends.
7. Optional Upgrades ✨
-
Knit extra garter rows at the ankle for a cuff
-
Add pom-poms, bows, or buttons
-
Use chunky yarn for cozy winter slippers
-
Felt them slightly for extra warmth and grip

8. Beginner Tips 🌱
-
Use light-colored yarn to see stitches clearly
-
Knit tightly at the toe for durability
-
Try the slipper on as you go
-
Don’t worry if they’re not perfect—handmade charm wins 😉
