This pattern was my very first ever lesson in knitting when I was around 10 or 11 years old (about 55 yrs ago!) I learned with the ridges, but later on eliminated them (much more comfortable in my opinion) from the pattern and simply knitted up to the toe part and finished up with the ribbing. I also crocheted a border around the top where the foot goes in; sometimes just single or half double crochet and sometimes a fancier shell around the top. I also crocheted a nice long chain to weave in and out along the top for a "shoestring" to tie to secure the slipper to the foot. The people I gave the slippers to always appreciated that. And sometimes little girls like pompoms on the tops of their slippers, and I have also done that.
Me too! 😊 It was, with a scarf (that I still have), my first knitting too when I was around 3 years old... I was putting pompons on my slippers that were done by maman as my little hands were not agile enough to do pompons... many eons ago 😂 and I am still knitting them today with variants similar to yours... as people and my family always demand them... would I dare putting a number of those I knitted in all my life? Surely not... but it must be an flabbergasting amount. I find that incredible that this simple pattern circumnavigate that long through time.
Fond memories. About a month ago, I was telling my 9 year old granddaughter about these slippers while planning to teach her how to knit. Back in the late 50's or very early 60's, these slippers were the first thing I ever knit. It came in a kit with wooden needles. She is going to start using my original size 10 1/2 wooden needles!
That is so amazing. Your Grandaughter is gonna love and cherish those memories. My mom passed away 7 years ago , and she taught me how to knit at 8 years old. Mind you she always did my cast on and cast off, and finally I am now able to do it alone, but last week I decided to start knitting newborn hats to donate to the NICU in Honour of my daughter Autumn who passed away at 7 weeks old. And I've been knitting everyday since last week and I feel so at peace . And remembering my memories with my Mom. Enjoy knitting with your granddaughter
I have made hundreds of pairs of these slippers through probably 50 plus years. But I was making some again for Christmas and watched your video to see how you sewed them up. Thank you
Thank you so much!!!! As a very new knitter, I did up a modified Granny Slipper last night with a double stranded sole to make it thicker and softer. At the end of the pattern, it said sew it up as usual. Seriously!!! Your demo was a life saver! I'm knitting slippers for the Seaman's Mission in Halifax, Canada. So far, this is the third pattern I have experimented with. I still haven't decided but I certainly am learning a great deal. Have a great day.
Just wondering, did you use worsted yarn? It looks like she is useing bulky or super bulky but the pattern calls for a size 6mm needle so I dont see how great that would work with thick yarn.
@@laciemarie5234 Yes, I use Red Heart Super Saver (RHSS) weight which is a worsted weight. Interestingly, RHSS is so popular in Canada, stores are now selling their own stores brands in direct competition but RHSS has more colors and I still like it better.
@@laciemarie5234 Years ago, I modified the pattern to knit them in a thinner yarn for the summer... it looks very nice... you just have to make a sample, calculate the size on an already done slipper, and knit. Of course, it takes a bit more time but it looks great too :) A pattern of infinite possibilities 🌹
I made these as my first knitting project when I was nine. I'm 80 now and I've made hundreds, over the years. I usuall put a pom pom at the toe to finish them off.
I’ve made these before but I love this pattern! Thanks for sharing
I have made lots of these slippers. I have used two strands of worsted weight yarn instead of the chunky yarn and I also sew them up from the wrong side. They are so easy and a pair can be made in an evening. My grand kids love them.
Thanks for sharing this super easy pattern of slipper. Surely going to try.
Wow thank God for u tube I love that simple pattern, I will make that slippers , thank for sharing, God blessed your gifted hands🤲🔥♥️🥰
Love this pattern I have made several pairs! Thank you!
I’ve done them many years ago, now in my mid 80’s would like to redo a few for gifts♥️💋OLGA ..again
Those were the ones Granny used to make. There was always a drawer full. They weren't made in 'pairs', and CERTAINLY were NEVER all one color! (well, at least for the Family!) They were utilitarian, and meant to be worn and worn out. They were always made of scraps, a little of this color, a little of that. Brown, yellow, orange, maybe green or red. I sure wish I had a pair now. Love in every stitch!
Thank you so much . Ideal for me the beginner !
I have made 6 pairs so far and making a bunch more for a group that provides gifts at Christmas for seniors who are forgotten about or don't have family
Well thank you thank you for sharing this is just brilliant I will be running to the wool shop to start this project very easy and looks so nice
Very cute and yes easy make great gifts for this coming Christmas for the kids!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you. My gran thanks you too.❤️
My mother taught me to weave the heal part back up before tying it off do there wasn't a knot being walked on. We always made boss for women and tassles for men.
wow...made these all the time years ago (about 50 years or so)!
You know what... I really tried. I really believe I could but I am just.. so illiterate when it comes to knitting 🥺 Eh, I’m still trying! But this is so helpful! Once I perfect one I’m probably going to make a tonnnnnnnnn more 😂
I use different size,shapes and colors of buttons on side or top of slippers to decorate. I also knit
I followed directions, using two strands of the proper weight yarn given in the directions. I have knitted my share of scarves, shawls and beanies and just wanted something quick. My husband requested these. I followed directions for a size L. They turned out enormous. Hubby wears size 12 shoes and these were easily an inch two 'tall' and an inch too long. I am hoping that I can shrink them in the dryer.
My Grandmother made these as do I for last 50 years...the Pompoms are put up near the top at the end of the closing. I found if you thread sew the pompom after the gather and close it will last longer. They however do not last the life of the slipper. I also have put leather soles mine. That is tricky the last pair I added some hot glue with the stitches to insure they hold but you must be precise. At the toe I will bury the tail yarn as I cross close the hole in front. If you don’t darn this you really feel the draft in the cold winter months. I have been wearing these slippersmy whole life. I also have made the crochet pattern and I will actually make two pairs together with the crochet for warmth since crochet is drafty with the crochet stitch..they are nice as well.
Would you be willing to share the crochet version you made for this pattern? Our grandma knit these slippers for the whole family every Christmas, but she has since passed & we’re all so sad not to receive grandma’s slippers this year.
I’d love to continue her tradition, but I don’t know how to knit, just crochet.
Thank you for your consideration! I hope to hear from you soon. If you would like to share your crochet pattern, you can reach me by email at Beth.Lain@gmail.com.
Merry Christmas!🎄
I’m a nervous new knitter and I’m going to try and do these. I need lots of luck!!
I’m not great at anything.
Nice work
A tutorial on how to make these slippers would be awesome.
Here is the pattern: www.allfreeknitting.com/Knitted-Slippers/grandmas-simple-knit-slippers
Joyce Clayton I found a video called, Slippers easy for beginners by Crafty Patti here on UA-cam. You can knit along with her. 🤗
I got my pattern from Allfreeknitting. There was nothing in the directions about a long tail cast on. Also how do you count the ridges? I used a counter to count rows and the ridge amount is different. It would have been nice if this video also showed how to knit and not just how to take them off the needles.Also the pattern says to use two strands of yarn
I use pretty different colors and shapes. I sew them on the sides and top.
Of buttons.
How many rows do you do for the shoes and for the ribbing and for the back of the slipper
How many yards are needed. I bought 2 skeins of 190 yard will that do. I never bought new yarn so how much was never a problem.
How do you make a video with a completed knitted item?
Also the length for small, medium n large..... size 37,38, 39 thanks OLGA..again
In the pattern it says "repeat rows 1 and 2 until there are 19 (large size) ridges on right side". I am not sure what you mean by this. Can you give some idea in inches or number of rows please.
Do you have a list of stitches for each size eg 23 stitches child, 29 stitches small etc
You mentioned you were making that slipper for a child with 23 stitches. What else would I do to make it a small slipper. I really enjoyed your video!
I also have the pattern that goes with this slipper for an additional sole, which makes these slippers extra cushy. Contact me if you would like it.
Where do I get the actual patter please?
What size for 8 adult and what size needle thank you did you use chunky yarn because that is what i have
Cute thanks
Hi .where do I find your pattern
I wonder if it’s just one strand of yarn… or is it chunky???
When you stitch up, turn project inside out. Also, after bringing needle through stitches on toe area, bring through again. Secures and makes circle hole less obvious. 😊
Where is the knitting tutorial? I cannot find it on your link.
I crochet flowers for the top of the toes instead of pom poms.
Where can I find this pattern?
Where to get the pattern
Is there a complete pattern for theses slippers
hi , When u r using 23 st for smaller slipper are you using the same 6mm needle or smaller and for row 2 are u still doing K9 ??
I have this pattern
Still 6mm
K7 P1 across
Knit one row
Repeat 19 times
Kpkp
Pkpk
Repeat 8times
I am going to try these. Do you think I could eventually do them with two layers?
I use two yarns at a time when making these
Do you knit all stitches on the way back8
We call that seeing up method mattress stitch
Is there a video to show how to knit the actual slipper?
I get what you mean but first time learn this!?????!
How many stitches for a 1 year old please
Hi Mam one request please let me know how many stitches have used Mam please reply
would you do the same way with stripe slippers to?
Great but can U please mention HOW MANY STITCHES, IS IT 7, 1, 7 1, 7? Olga thanks
There is a link to the pattern under her video
Forgot what do u put on the bottom of slipper so they don't slip ?
I have 4 plays yarn how many stitches 🙏
My mother in law (now 87) made these for her kids and grandkids. One pair has worn out the bottom sole - is there a way to replace that ?
I would find a bit of yarn in as close to the original color of the slipper as you can. Darn, stitch, sew however you can, to patch the worn spot. Then add a suede sole to the bottom of the slipper with either fabric glue or stitching. You can add a suede sole to the other slippers as well to preserve them for longer.
Where’s the pattern
The video was helpful but when I first started knitting I had to find out where to get to where she started and then I went back to this video.
This is such a old pattern, I knit this ones already for 40 years.
I've also looked for the pattern, but can't find it. Looking forward to the link:)
Thank you very much:)
qldteacher Crafty Patti has a knit along video for these here on UA-cam called knitted slippers easy for beginners. 🤗
Wat size to cast on for women XL?
Anyone tried these on a loom?
Oh, thought this was a tutorial on how to knit these.
Me too!
What sizes are the medium and large please
This is why I'm here too.
Where is the pattern?
What yarn did you use? It’s not 2 strands.
Hello,
You can find the full written pattern by following this link:
www.allfreeknitting.com/Knitted-Slippers/grandmas-simple-knit-slippers
The pattern calls for two skeins of yarn, colors of your choice. The video only focuses on the seaming portion of the pattern. Hope this helps!
Your pattern calls for 2 strands of yarn . Your tutorial appears to be using just one strand . Why the difference?
Looks like she's using #6 yarn? Not sure, but it does look quite think.
@@gracej6021 Thats what I was thinking as well. I think it calls for a 6mm needle to witch is used for worsted. And would u really need that many sts for a bulky or super yarn? I am trying to find out how many sts for size 6 yarn and size 9 or 10 needles.
Lousy website ads make it impossible to scroll.
Don't forget to put something nonslip on the bottom of the slippers. There are several tutorials on You tube listing hot glue and puffy paint to soles you can buy and knit to the bottom. Just be careful of grama and grampa on the hard wood or tile!
I would like instructions of how to make these slippers. Thank you.
The link is under this video. It says link to this pattern. I didn't make them but if you follow the link it will take you to the pattern. My idea was just to put something on the bottom to make them nonslip. Thanks
Sizes
Sorry but how many stitches I️ need it ....
Hi Lida,
You can find the full written pattern by following this link: www.allfreeknitting.com/Knitted-Slippers/grandmas-simple-knit-slippers
I didn't find the number of stitches (given in the pattern) very useful. I got the two skeins of chunky yarn and cast on as instructed. I found the slippers were coming out HUGE and ended up pulling out all that knitting and using the smallest number for the width. :'( And I do NOT have small feet. That was 23 stitches. For the length, I just knitted and measured on my foot to see when I should start shaping the toe.
Hello, I am new to this. Where do I find the pattern for these slippers.?.
And make a bow
6
would be easier to see what you are doing if you would keep all your fingers off the stitch line
I don’t understand ! Thought you were going to begin with the start, and all you do is show us the end, when the work is done ? Am I missing something ?!

Sadly, this video is only about cast off, not knitting the actual slippers, for beginners...
It would have been nice to get the directions on how to knit the slippers. Demonstrating how to finish the slippers doesn't make much sense without providing information about the pattern.
Hi Cookie Singletary! The link to the full pattern is in the description :)
Look up Crafty Patti here on UA-cam. She has a knit along tutorial for these called knitted slippers easy for beginners.🤗
Duh this is not a tutorial --and folks are having a problem FINDING the PATTERN>
Johnny Wewoka go to Crafty Patti on UA-cam she has a knit along tutorial for these called knitted slippers easy for beginners 🤗
You didn’t say how many stitches to cast on your just showing your finished article, if you are going to show how to knit say what size needle you use they type of yarn and how many stitches, very poor
