Slipper Squares
(© Beverly A. Qualheim 2007, 2021)
Size 10 knitting needles
1 - 2 oz Red Heart Classic or other 4 ply worsted weight yarn
yarn needle
Adult sized slipper
will be approximately 8.5" long. and 8.5" wide before folding in half.
Gauge: 6 rows = 1" 4 sts = 1"
Cast on 26 sts (3-6 yr olds) (30 for 7-12 yr old
kids) (34 for ladies)
Knit 36 rows (44) (48)
Then knit 2 sts together across next 2 rows
You should have 6 (7) (9) sts
left
Cut 10" yarn tail, thread onto yarn needle.
Gently remove the 6 (7) (9)
remaining sts from the knitting needle and pull to gather.
Fold slipper in half and stitch seams together about half way down
towards heel, leaving enough room for foot to fit in opening. Back
stitch 4 sts and cut yarn.
Now stitch heel seam shut, back stitch 4 sts and cut yarn.
I crocheted 2 rounds of single crochet to form the
"cuff", on knitted and crocheted versions. (the white yarn top) I think
it just adds a little loveliness to the slipper. (BevQ)
