🪡 STEP 1: Knit a Simple Rectangle
-
Cast on required stitches.
-
Knit every row (garter stitch).
-
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:
-
Pick up stitches around the opening.
-
Knit 6–8 rows in garter stitch OR rib (K1, P1).
-
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
