Fast & FUN! Purl Stitch Knit 2 together *All of these stitches are demonstrated in the video, checkout this video if you need more instruction: https://youtu.be/mg52w9RsrEE 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.
