🧶 How to Make Knitted Slippers Easily and Simply

Even a Complete Beginner Can Handle It!

This is one of the easiest slipper patterns you can make.
No complicated shaping. No difficult stitches. Just knit, fold, and sew!

Perfect for:

  • First knitting project

  • Quick handmade gifts

  • Cozy home wear

  • Using leftover yarn


✨ Why This Pattern Is So Easy

✅ Only basic stitches (knit & purl optional)
✅ Knit as one flat piece
✅ Minimal sewing
✅ Easy to resize
✅ Quick to finish


🧵 Materials You Need

  • 100–150g worsted weight yarn

  • 4–5 mm knitting needles (US 6–8)

  • Yarn needle

  • Scissors

  • Measuring tape


🧶 Stitches Used

  • Knit (K)

  • Purl (P) – optional

If you only know how to knit, you can still make this!


📏 Sizes (Easy Adjustment)

Size Cast On Foot Length
Small (EU 36–37) 32 sts 22–23 cm
Medium (EU 38–39) 36 sts 24–25 cm
Large (EU 40–41) 40 sts 26–27 cm

👉 Add or subtract 4 stitches to resize.


🪡 STEP 1: Knit a Simple Rectangle

  1. Cast on required stitches.

  2. Knit every row (garter stitch).

  3. Continue knitting until the piece measures:
    👉 The full length of your foot.

Example:
If foot length is 24 cm → knit until your piece is 24 cm long.

That’s it! You now have a rectangle.


🪡 STEP 2: Shape the Toe (Very Simple Way)

Now we make the front part round.

Row 1:
K2tog, knit until 2 stitches remain, K2tog.

Row 2:
Knit all stitches.

Repeat these 2 rows until about 10 stitches remain.

Cut yarn, thread through remaining stitches, pull tight.

You now have a gathered toe.


🪡 STEP 3: Fold and Sew

Fold the piece in half (lengthwise).

Sew:

  • The toe (if not fully closed)

  • The heel seam at the back

Leave the top open.

Turn right side out.

And… you have a slipper!


🪡 STEP 4: Add a Simple Edge (Optional but Recommended)

To make it look nicer:

  1. Pick up stitches around the opening.

  2. Knit 6–8 rows in garter stitch OR rib (K1, P1).

  3. Bind off loosely.

This gives:

  • Better fit

  • More professional finish

  • Extra comfort


🌸 Optional Easy Decorations

  • Add a pom-pom

  • Sew a cute button

  • Add a small knitted bow

  • Use two yarn colors

  • Add anti-slip dots underneath


🧼 Care Instructions

  • Hand wash preferred

  • Lay flat to dry

  • Avoid high heat


💡 Beginner Success Tips

✔ Don’t pull yarn too tight
✔ Count stitches when decreasing
✔ Use soft yarn for comfort
✔ If unsure about size, knit slightly smaller (yarn stretches)
