Unlike most videos labeled as beginner level, especially ones for socks or slippers, this one truly is very easy. ☺ I’ve only been loom knitting a few months and so far, I’ve only made hats in various stitches and I haven’t seamed anything. This will be my first foray into the slipper realm and my first time using the double stitch. I’m glad that I found this ‘oldie but goodie’ video. Thank you. 😀
This was a very well presented tutorial. Slow-paced enough for newbies (like me) to be able to understand and learn easily--but not so slow as to be boring. The young lady doing the presentation speaks slowly and clearly, and the camera angles and lighting are excellent. Only negative...she should SMILE more. She is very pretty, but seems too clinical (not a bad thing for this type of tutorial). She finally cracks a smile at the very end, and Voila! her face is transformed. Loved the project.
Over-all I thought it was a good lesson, but please remember that some people are Very new to Loomknitting and seeing you begin a project would truly be helpful Thank you for sharing your work with me.
Thank you for this pattern they came out beautiful first time! I never realized that I could do the the three loop stitch, I had never done any of my looms with one skein of yarn! I had always thought you needed two strands of yarn coming in. The stitch it beautiful you are a genius. Your directions were great, I love these!
Thank you for this pattern. I made tiny red slippers for my granddaughter tonight after watching this. This pattern is super easy, fits very well, and is warm when using wool.
Don't understand how you make "tiny" slippers on a 24 peg loom. The slippers I made were soooo wide. What if someone has super narrow feet? Or a child? I've heard of people using 18 peg looms, but haven't been able to find one.
Love this pattern when I can keep my attention on it, it seems like it takes forever but it doesn't it is just the same stitch over and over again! Thank you for sharing this with us it is wonderful!
I really like this pattern. I'll try it. I have learned well from your beanie, scarf, sock, so now I'm ready for this more complicated pattern. Thanks again.
Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for. Great directions. Thanks so much! . I'm going to make these and if they come out half as nice as yours, I'll be 😊 a happy camper...
I love it now im working on my 2nd pair. The 3 strand takes to long but the out come is awesome. Thans for sharing. I used red heart and the color i used was wildflowers kinda similar to yours :)
Take a length or cardboard say 3" x 5". Wrap the yarn around it about 20 or more times. Slip the yarn off keeping it tight in a little bundle. Take a double loop of yarn and tie the bundle off in the center using a double knot. Clip the loops and shake it out. You have a pom pom.
I'd love to be able to break this down into children's sizes. Would you still use the measurements from heel to anklebone, then from anklebone to toe, or would you go by the shoe size?
Angela Prescott When you lift off only one of the yarns off it makes the knit thicker. That way you don't have to use 2 strands of yarn at once to make it thicker. This is the same with scarfs too.
Just finished making my set and it was very simple. Now if I want to make different sizes like I just did the size 9 and the heal part is 28 stitches I get that 6 rows =1 inch. NOw for the toe part will that always be 30 rows. Cause I want to make baby ones and child size.
Hello! Thank you for the video. I have a question please. Did you make 30 open rows and then 36 close rows for the slippers? Thank you so much! Greetings from Brazil
Help! Mine looks like a thumbless mitten. What did I do wrong? Really want to make these. I am a beginner and have mastered cuff socks and scarves and hats.
I am thinking of following this pattern, but I find that wrapping the yarn around three times always takes too long. Do you think it would turn out OK if I used two strands of yarn at a time and just wrapped the yarn around twice? In that case, would that change the number of rows per inch?
do I use a 12 peg loom to make baby ones. and how many stitches to make a mans size 12-13. and to make newborn to 3 months. love this pattern working on one now and so far it is working great. thanks for the video. but next time show doing a few lines after your done the heal part.
Hi Ms. Leeanne. What I do is measure the foot from the tip of the toe to the end of the heel, and then subtract 2 inches for the heel part and 2 inches for the toe part. For instance: If your entire foot measurement comes to 9 inches, after you subtract for the toe and heel, you will be left with 5 inches. THAT 5 inches will be how long you should make JUST the foot part of the slipper. Just don't forget to add your 2 inches for the heel and your 2 inches for the toe as you knit along. This method works perfectly for me. Another, possibly easier way to do it would be to trace a pattern around the person's foot, cut it out and use it as a pattern or template. One last thing: If you don't know it already, yarn made slippers and socks are VERY slippery on tile and wood floors and such. I learned a neat trick of aiding this a little. I use any color of fabric "puffy paint" (I prefer Tulip brand) and "dot" the bottom of the slippers or socks with the paint. You don't have to overdo it. You'll have to allow the paint to dry for a few days, but it definately helps. I hope this helped you.
Debbie Henderson oh my goodness! I would have never thought of hot glue, and it dries much faster than paint! What an excellent idea! Thank you so very much for suggesting it to me, Ms. Henderdon! I can't wait to try it out on my next pair of slippers!😊❤
You will have to do the measurements to make sure they fit. At the beginning of the video she explains that 6 rows equals about 1 inch. Your first measurement is from the back of your heel to the ankle. I wear a size 5 too and my first measurement is 5 inches. Multiply 5 x 6 (rows per inch) and your first section will be 30 rows. Then measure your foot from the front of the ankle to the end of the toes. Mine is about six inches so I would do 36 rows to finish it off. Understand?
6 rows per inch and measure heel to front of ankle bone for first part. Then front of ankle to the toe. And the 6 per row is with the yarn she used, different yarn means different width.
I really love this pattern it took some thinking but I like booties and I figured out how to make this pattern into a booty so I'm off to work on it happy holidays
like the way you made a slipper, But now I have it almost done and don;t know how to take it off...What do you mean close it the way you do hats...Never seen one or did one...Now What...Remember some of us did not understand...So thanks..but NO TH
ok i am lost and need to ask a question..... she said the heel section was 4 1/2 inches. got that. now she said total of 28 rows.. ok is that wrapping 28 times or 28 times pegging off. cause you wrap 3 and peg. wrap #4, then peg row 2. so am i wrapping 28 times for that measurement or am i pegging 28 times? i am stuck until someone can help me. thanks a bunch. :-)
+Letti Roxx Yes Letti.. The 'Slip-Knot' is made be tying the yarn left over right.. then right over left.. and then do an ordinary tie (usually) after that to seal everything secure :-)
what if i didnt want to watch the hat video? My point is, even if your doing the same thing on another video, you still need to explain it no matter what.... there Right, SMILE MORE you look so pretty when you smile, (i sound like my grandma T_T) but forreal, you looked creepy when you weren't smiling..... overall.......Ithought you explained it well other than the end when you were "cinching" It up...
Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for. Great directions. Thanks so much! . I'm going to make these and if they come out half as nice as yours, I'll be 😊 a happy camper...

very good demonstration and instructions and I have made several pairs of these , thank you for making the video
I love the color of your yarn too! I would add a bottom to the slipper so it does not wear out too fast. I just love your tutorials.
Love this pattern when I can keep my attention on it, it seems like it takes forever but it doesn't it is just the same stitch over and over again! Thank you for sharing this with us it is wonderful!
Your videos are 10000% and more the best and so easy
To follow thank you
I just made one slipper with some leftover yarn as a learning one. It turned out great! Now I want to make more!
Awesome video! :) I'm going to make a pair for my mom and grandma
I really like this pattern. I'll try it. I have learned well from your beanie, scarf, sock, so now I'm ready for this more complicated pattern. Thanks again.
I love it now im working on my 3rd pair. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for a very nice video and an easy pattern for slippers. I like that i can use thin yarn so I am very pleased with this pattern. I love it. ❤
Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for. Great directions. Thanks so much! . I'm going to make these and if they come out half as nice as yours, I'll be 😊 a happy camper...
Great video using my looms once again ...thank you so much
I bought 2 sets of looms so I could do two slippers faster! lol... Great video and very simple to understand. ty
:-D
I love it now im working on my 2nd pair. The 3 strand takes to long but the out come is awesome. Thans for sharing. I used red heart and the color i used was wildflowers kinda similar to yours :)
You made this look easier than I thought!
would love to know how to make this smaller - ladies size 6 with bulky (5) weight yarn.
My son wanted bulky yarn so I adjusted the stitches per inch but it is harder to use on the loom for sure.
Very pretty. Love the yarn.
can't wait to try this....great video....this will be my first pair of booties and I'm new to loom knitting!! love it! thank you
Great video, but how do you make the matching pom pom?
Take a length or cardboard say 3" x 5". Wrap the yarn around it about 20 or more times. Slip the yarn off keeping it tight in a little bundle. Take a double loop of yarn and tie the bundle off in the center using a double knot. Clip the loops and shake it out. You have a pom pom.
Do I have to use a specific yarn because I am using thick fuzzy yarn???
great tutorial, im a beginner and so excited to try this project! thank you ~
does this come with written instructions?? this will also help me greatly..thanks
I like the pattern. However I used a 4ply yarn but they were very thin. Did I miss something in the guage of the yarn. Great video. thx
I saw the measurements at the beginning but will it work using the blue loom
Great instructor.
What number peg loom will fit a small foot
Hello! Did you ever loom a hooded scarf on a round ou rectangular loom? Thanks
Suzanne
I'd love to be able to break this down into children's sizes. Would you still use the measurements from heel to anklebone, then from anklebone to toe, or would you go by the shoe size?
Why do you use 3 loops on esch peg? n only lift off 1 leaving 2?
Angela Prescott When you lift off only one of the yarns off it makes the knit thicker. That way you don't have to use 2 strands of yarn at once to make it thicker. This is the same with scarfs too.
Ok thank you for explaining this!to me!
Hi and thanx! The heel section looks like stockinette and the toe looks ribbed. Is this correct and how was that done?
How do I find the video with hat and how to finish off to make the toe
Just finished making my set and it was very simple. Now if I want to make different sizes like I just did the size 9 and the heal part is 28 stitches I get that 6 rows =1 inch. NOw for the toe part will that always be 30 rows. Cause I want to make baby ones and child size.
Nice! Thanks for show that beautiful slipper, I'm going to make one. I love that shade of blue too. I'm going to hunt one down. Thanks again. :)
Hello! Thank you for the video. I have a question please. Did you make 30 open rows and then 36 close rows for the slippers? Thank you so much! Greetings from Brazil
Loved your Video the Slippers look easy !!!
do you add or times for the amount of rows.
Why do you put three around on your loom I made one and only used one came out pretty cool
So the looming wouldnt be so loose....i realized that later in the video when i was doing it...
I sometimes use only 2 stitches too, but this little slipper will not last long through wear with only 2 rows.
Your flash signs blocked an important part of the tie part. Plus you keep the video up on her instead of her instruction. ugh
I agree that damn sign blocked what she was doing
Help! Mine looks like a thumbless mitten. What did I do wrong? Really want to make these. I am a beginner and have mastered cuff socks and scarves and hats.
How do you cast off? There are several videos for hats form this channel, sonic am not sure which one you are referring to
Can u use that loom to make any size slippers I have a two year old ?
how to count stitches in loom knitting this slipper ? from the front or the back?
Excellent video!
Love the yarn !!! Great tutorial. What is the brand of yarn and colour of yarn??
I am thinking of following this pattern, but I find that wrapping the yarn around three times always takes too long. Do you think it would turn out OK if I used two strands of yarn at a time and just wrapped the yarn around twice? In that case, would that change the number of rows per inch?
from what I can see you only wrap it 3 times the first time so it really (in my opinion ) doesn't take that much more time.
Does any one know the name of the patern
How many rows for the heal?
do I use a 12 peg loom to make baby ones. and how many stitches to make a mans size 12-13. and to make newborn to 3 months. love this pattern working on one now and so far it is working great. thanks for the video. but next time show doing a few lines after your done the heal part.

I figured it out. The baby ones are so cute and tiny. I enjoyed making them. Thanks for the wonderful video
Michelle Cohoon-Gunderson A few dots of hot glue works great too, for a non-skid texture.
Debbie Henderson oh my goodness! I would have never thought of hot glue, and it dries much faster than paint! What an excellent idea! Thank you so very much for suggesting it to me, Ms. Henderdon! I can't wait to try it out on my next pair of slippers!😊❤
Awesome work.
how easy is that thanks
and I find any type of yarn works great but it must be a size 4
I have size 5 shoes,how many rows do i put on my loom to make slippere
You will have to do the measurements to make sure they fit. At the beginning of the video she explains that 6 rows equals about 1 inch. Your first measurement is from the back of your heel to the ankle. I wear a size 5 too and my first measurement is 5 inches. Multiply 5 x 6 (rows per inch) and your first section will be 30 rows. Then measure your foot from the front of the ankle to the end of the toes. Mine is about six inches so I would do 36 rows to finish it off. Understand?
Yes i do. Thank you
so how do you know how many rows per size? New at this but I want to understand
6 rows per inch and measure heel to front of ankle bone for first part. Then front of ankle to the toe. And the 6 per row is with the yarn she used, different yarn means different width.
Very cool. Where do you get this at.
Glad to hear you like it. It's our own design.

Great video, how many ounces did it take to make both slippers? Thanks for sharing can't wait to get started. Have a great holiday.
I really love this pattern it took some thinking but I like booties and I figured out how to make this pattern into a booty so I'm off to work on it happy holidays
what about kids size in 11 years old and trying to knit
I want to make one for my granddaughter, she wears a size 7 she is 4 years old how much should I do

This video is great
I ONLY HAVE A 40 PEG ROUND LOOM HOW DO I MAKE SLIPPERS NEED VIDEO
Thank I love ir tutorial
like the way you made a slipper, But now I have it almost done and don;t know how to take it off...What do you mean close it the way you do hats...Never seen one or did one...Now What...Remember some of us did not understand...So thanks..but NO TH
It's not for a beginner.
ok i am lost and need to ask a question..... she said the heel section was 4 1/2 inches. got that. now she said total of 28 rows.. ok is that wrapping 28 times or 28 times pegging off. cause you wrap 3 and peg. wrap #4, then peg row 2. so am i wrapping 28 times for that measurement or am i pegging 28 times? i am stuck until someone can help me. thanks a bunch. :-)
Each row is pulling the yarn over the pegs. There will be 3 yarns, but those three yarns count as one row.
Can you do it in Spanish❓
At the the end,she said " pair" #shoutouttoallmypairs
I made a pair.

Thankyou very matchs
Good
HI
This pattern is a little too complicated
how to make a slipper
It really irritates me that she didn't show how to do a slip knot becuz I have no clue what it is and spend a lot of time figuring it out
+Letti Roxx Yes Letti.. The 'Slip-Knot' is made be tying the yarn left over right.. then right over left.. and then do an ordinary tie (usually) after that to seal everything secure :-)
+Letti Roxx apparently you weren't watching when she did the slipknot at 1:00? Theres nothing more to show.
what if i didnt want to watch the hat video? My point is, even if your doing the same thing on another video, you still need to explain it no matter what....
there Right, SMILE MORE you look so pretty when you smile, (i sound like my grandma T_T) but forreal, you looked creepy when you weren't smiling.....
overall.......Ithought you explained it well other than the end when you were "cinching" It up...
