Never learned
how to knit?
If you have never
learned how to knit, you might want to start with, "How
to Knit a Scarf" which is our simplest project for learning how to
knit. "How to Knit a Hat" is still simple enough for a beginner but
involves learning additional knitting basics such as: purl, and ribbing.
"How to Knit Slippers" is also simple enough for a beginner.

Knit the
Slippers Using the following instructions:
-
Cast on 40(44, 54) stitches.
-
Knit every row until the piece measures
4.5(5, 5.5) inches.
-
Next row, cast off the first 5(7, 9)
stitches and knit to row end.
-
Next row, again cast off the first
5(7, 9) stitches and knit to row end.
-
Next row, cast off the first 3(3, 3)
stitches and knit to row end.
-
Next row, again cast off the first
3(3, 3) stitches and knit it row end.
-
Knit every row for 2.5(3, 4) more inches
after the last 3 stitches were cast off.
-
Knit 2 stitches together 12(12, 14)
times. [12(12, 14) stitches remain]
-
Knit next row.
-
Knit 2 stitches together 6(6, 7) times.
[6(6, 7) stitches remain]
   
-
Cut yarn about 18 inches from finished
knitting and thread the end of the yarn with the yarn needle. (If you cannot
get this thick yarn through your yarn needle, simple use a crochet hook
in its place to pull the yarn through.
-
Remove the knitting needle from the
remaining stitches and send the yarn needle through all the stitch loops.
Pull tight. This will bring the ending edge together and start to create
the toe of the slipper.
-
To stitch the slipper together use
a looping method; To do this, first, line up the left and right
 edges
that you wish to stitch together, then send the yarn in a circular direction
through the edges on each side to join them as shown in the photo. Pull
snug with each loop or circle stitch. Repeat working along the open edges
that you are connecting.
-
Continue stitching the slipper together
from the toe up to the top edge. Knot the end and trim the extra yarn.
-
Line up the back sides of the slipper.
Thread another piece of yarn (or use the crochet hook and some yarn) and
stitch up the back of the slipper from the heel to the top edge. Knot the
end and trim the extra.
-
Fold the top edge over to form the
cuff.
Done!
These are really cozy slippers
because of the soft and cuddly yarn that is used to make them.
Make slippers for everyone on
your list this holiday!
