Easy Knitted Slippers for Beginners! Fast & FUN!
Purl Stitch
Knit 2 together
*All of these stitches are demonstrated in the video, checkout this video if you need more instruction: • knitting101_caston_kni...
Directions: Use this for a ladies slipper size 6-10 or narrow men's slipper. Alteration tips below.
1. Cast on on 22 stitches.
2.Row 1: Knit7 (place stitch marker) Purl 1, Knit 6 (place stitch marker) Purl 1, Knit 7
3. Row 2: Knit
*Repeat these 2 rows until you have a rectangle of fabric that is as long as the distance from your heel to the widest part of your foot (where the toe knuckles are) I knit this part 8 1/2" to fit a size 8-9 ladies shoe size.
4. Decreasing for the toe:
Knit 1, Knit 2 together (repeat across row.)
Next row: Knit. Repeat these 2 rows.
5. Knit across as many rows as you need until you have 1/4" of toe left to cover.
6. Repeat step 4.
7. Cut yarn leaving a 18" tail, thread yarn into a yarn needle and draw yarn through stitches on the needle. Slide the stitches off the needle and pull tight to close the toe. Fold slipper fabric in half and seam up the toe. Fasten off and weave in ends.
8. Use the tail from the cast on end to seam the heel, fasten off and weave in ends.
Alterations:
To make a wider slipper add a stitch or two in each knit column. So instead of casting on 22 stitches (k7, p1, k6, p1, k7) you might cast on 25 stitches and k8, p1, k7, pi, k8. Just add stitches evenly and follow the knitting instructions for the rest of the slipper.
To make smaller slippers you can decrease stitches from each column. Alternately you could use thinner yarn and smaller knitting needles so a smaller slipper would not be as bulky. I suggest making notes as you knit the first slipper so you can easily make the second one match.

You have given so simple of instruction. If you don't know how to knit than there isn't any excuse to now. Thank you for sharing. Excellent advice. :)
+Pam Jones thanks Pam!
I’m an experienced knitter and yet have never made slippers. Thank you for a very nice tutorial on how to. Live the color!thank you for sharing.
you never cease to amaze me!!!!! your creative mind takes you into many genres of crafting. im that type of person too...limitless possibilities await
very cool easy pattern for teaching. I will have to send to my buddies that are learning to knit right now. cute color. . I knit socks two at a time from the toe up with tiny yarn and tiny needles.You make me want to grab it and start a new pair.
Hi Lindsay! These are adorable! They are like the ones my mother made when I was younger and they are Very Comfortable and Very Warm! Great tip and wonderful directions! Have a great night! See you next time! :) (You do so many different things-what an inspiration you are!) TFS!
thanks Teresa!
You are sincerely welcome! : )
nice easy slippers to make and make a nice Christmas gift! Thank You Lindsay for sharing!! Hugs Liz x
i wish this video was around when i was learning to knit. awesome video 🙂 love the slippers ❤
I love working with super chunky yarn . Great video ! I have been making hats and scarfs for Christmas
+Tricia Campbell those sound cute!
thank you!!! thats all i gotta say.. but im sure once my dad tries what i make ill have more to say to you lol best pattern ive seen for beginners!!
This makes me want to try knitting! You make it look simple!
+Carol Bostick thanks!
Once you get the hang of it you will never look back! Hope you give it a try, this tutorial is perfect for beginners!
I have always wanted to knit. I crochet. Thanks for the easy lesson!
Sherrie D. I used to be like that and then I found The Knit Crowd, hosted by Mikey and does many crochet videos too if you want to check them out. He was my teacher in understanding crochet since 2012 or 2013 and I have made hats, scarfs, fingerless gloves/ wristies, afghans and socks now. Forgot to mention that Mikey's crochet tutorials can be found on the UA-cam channel The Crochet Crowd.
Lindsay you are truly amazing 😳whatever yr on I need some so impressed with all you do ♥️
These look so comfy and cozy!
thanks! I am a newbie knitter and this was so easy to follow!
Nicely explained.
I'm gonna try knitting one,wish me luck.🙂
I just realised this could be made on a knitting loom of the "rake" type, about 20-25 pegs long. Would probably give a looser knit unless you have a wooden one with v close pegs. I love to knit at the loom - so fast and so easy!
you should be able too:)
The Spin Doctor lol i only loom knit and was thinking the same thing....i will try it...love comfy slippers...i usually loom knit in the round for slippers
Vaun Dinger I've done it - double-knit (meaning both rows at once) on 22 pins of a 24 or 26 pin rake. Use proper knit stitch not e-wrap and KO, and proper perl where Mrs W uses perl and it works fine. Suggest a fairly chunky yarn given rakes knit loose.
The Spin Doctor لو سمحتي بلغه العربيه لا اجيد الاجنبه
The Spin Doctor لا. اجيد اللغه العربيه
instead of buying the big eye needle you can use a Bobby pin it works fine for me btw I used the small one
great tip!
This is so sad...they do not ship to Canada :(
have you done any beginner crochet videos? I would be interested in see a crochet tutorial.
GASP!! You said "gun"! I heard a bunch of people pausing the video and running for their safe space! It was so traumatic! Eek! :P
My aunt gave me a knitting set and it's been sitting with dusts for two and a half years.
Thanks for this video - perfect timing as a dear friend has a lot of issues with the cold after chemo and these would help as they could be worn in bed etc or at work. I have some amazing yarn that would be perfect for this - it is wool and chenille - 2 metres of wool, 2 metres of chenille, alternating over and over. It would be perfect for this - it is from a Californian company but I can't remember the name - it'll come to me! I used it to loom-knit hats.
that sounds interesting, I have never seen yarn like that.
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich It's made by Crystal Palace and sold by LOADS of companies and it is called "Aria yarn". The (patterning) colourways they sell it in are not just amazing, they sell a standard wool yarn in matching colourways so you can use them together which is especially good for weaving as it looks better if aria is the warp and a normal yarn is the weft. I've used it to spin artyarns by plying it with both a chunky single in a similar colour (usually a merino-silk mix I buy both parts dyed and blend myself before spinning) and a fine invisible thread with greywood beads on it so every few feet there's a bead in the finished yarn. An absolute bugger to spin that (Navajo ply and needs an extra-wide orifice and a flyer designed for larger yarns) but you can arm knit the resultant yarn into beautiful blankets and shawls.
The Spin Doctor video please
Watching an American knit is always kind of weird for me. The "German" version works the other way around, instead of wrapping the yarn around the needle we use the needle to "catch" the yarn around it. It feels mor efficient to only use the one hand with the working needle but I guess that is only because that is the way I learned it and am used to. Anyway I will totally try this as my slippers are starting to fall apart :)
+TheAlmutz I never thought of that. When I crochet I dip the hook and grab the yarn with it and when I knit I wrap. I thought u was efficient because many knitters I know make big arm motions when they wrap. I learned from a book so I am sure there are better ways:)
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich well I would say there are different ways. In my experience, watching both German and American/British UA-camrs and their tutorials, it is a "cultural" thing how you work your yarn and I bet if someone who knits like you do watches my version of knitting they would think their way is more efficient. It is just a very interesting difference I recognised :)
That looks so easy
You are an angel! This is the perfect project. For me at this time. Over the Christmas break I know what I will be doing. I need to make six pairs for some cold feet. Thanks a million! Are these your grandmother's slippers?
not exactly but close, I think she did a ki,pi ribbing for the toe and she mat not have decreased because the end of the slipper was more round. It was the inspiration though! She would use two stands of red heart yarn held together and some of the color combos she used were wild, I loved them!
Well, I could not wait until Christmas break! I have the first slipper almost to the toe decrease. I am using two strands of yarn from the stash! I will probably have some wild combinations, too. People give me yarn. I feel I need to use it up before I buy more, but I love your chenille slippers.
Hi Mam superb it is awesome but Mam I wanted to know one thing that's instead of round needle can I use 2 straight needles Please reply
You should be able to.
Such an adorable project. :)
+Juhi Manral thanks!
Oh and also, does one ball make a pair or more? Thanks
I got one of those big stitch studio balls of yarn at Acmoore and I think I can make 3 pairs from one big ball. I would thing you could get a pair from a ball of Hartland USA or Lion Brand Thick and Quick (but I would get another ball from the same dye lot just in case, you can always take it back if you don't need it)
Thanks, that helps!
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich I did 19 stiches because another video told me to use 19 stiches so it goes with my foot size and I'm casting off and it's really small is there anyway you can help me out? btw I really liked the socks/slippers
Great video Lindsay! 😆 I will be making 2 pairs for cuddle tv time. 😉
Valarie Connell /DrawingWithFire You have designated Cuddle TV Time in your house? Fuck this shit, I'm moving to the boondocks to burn gourds and shoot stuff if it means designated cuddle time!
The Spin Doctor LMAO!! 😂 Of course we do...we are civilized here. We cuddle every night for a movie or show right after dinner, in bed. Once we watch for an hour or two we go back to making art. Life is good!
Valarie Connell /DrawingWithFire I have designated nap time. I'm basically 4 yrs old...
The Spin Doctor I have a dedicated nap time too! lol 1pm to 445p, don't even bother me!! 😃
The Spin Doctor oh I made my card video 😆
Very Good! Thank You!
Is there anyting you can't do ? I have tried knitting and I think I hate it, but I might try it again :)
So cute. Do you have a crochet version
good idea, I think crochet would be easier in fact. I will see if I can work something up:)
great video👍 but I was wondering do you have to do the pearl part beacause I can't do them
great tutorial
I always roll the tail around 2 fingers and secure with 2 Kirby grips (aka bobby pins) in a cross like when doing a pincurl, and then it stays out of the way and I can't accidentally knit with it.
good tip!
Can you use regular knitting needles? I know this is kind of a dumb question but I was just wondering. By the way I love all the content you put out and how to treat your subscribers like family.
yes you can:)
LOVE them, perfect gift! Question.....how does the wool wear on the feet and does it wash easily? I'm going out to buy some and start on those gifts..(for next year) LOL little short on time for this year. Thanks for sharing, you rock!
Anita Holmes I guess you could always line the sole with a footshaped (trace around an insole) piece of lining fabric? Chenille is pretty hard wearing as it's a strip of velvet-like fabric really not a yarn - I would not want to try making these with a non-chenille yarn myself as I don't think a standard yarn would last quite so long.
we used to slide down the hallway with our granny slippers on (OK I still do...explains some of the aches and pains I get LOL!) Grammie used 2 strands of red hear acrylic to make hers and they held up well. Also you could add some sillicone caulking to the soles (a tip from Emi- Hectanooga1 on youtube) to make then non slip and that will probably add durability or add a felt liner as Rich (Spin doctor) suggested.
Good point, thanks!
Thanks Lindsay, oh my, you called your Grandmother, Grammie, that's what my grandkids call me! Love it!
Thanks for taking the time to send this info, I am going shopping tomorrow! Need to buy a set of needles too as all my knitting supplies are in Canada and I am in AZ for the winter, didn't think I would knit here in the sun!
Interesting dance step at the end. Do you dance, too?
haha, no,that was my daughter Maizy:)
I can't figure out how to get my chance to win those knitting needles! What am I missing? I love your tutorials!
the blog post will be up soon, I am writing it now:)
Is this yarn machine washable and dryable?
yes, it is acrylic:)
Could you tell me what brand of needles your fancy case of needles are it would be a great present for my moms birthday?
Jamie Francisco The knitting needles are listed in the description with a link. 😉
they are by Fabart and I have a 20% off coupon in the video description:)
Thank you I looked in the description but I obviously missed it.
Jamie Francisco lol! It happens 😉
Can you make these with needles that don't have a cord between them?
+MissingOne123 sure, use what you have, these are us size 9
thank you!
could i do this with regular bamboo needles?
sure:)
How long did they take to make, do you think?
+The Spin Doctor about one junior high basketball game per slipper;) so about an hour per foot.
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich I knit very slowly so it would take me a few evenings. I can crochet and loomknit and spin and weave fast but I find knitting hard for some reason.
Can I make these slippers with straight needles?
yes
i need slippers i have nun
