I developed this pattern for two reasons. First I needed a cute and fast Christmas present pattern for people and second, I wanted a chance to practice short row heels. This is the perfect opportunity to try out those heels before attempting them in fingering weight with size 0 needles!

The pattern has instructions for both the slipper and the mary jane style.

Errata:
For the Mary Jane Slippers, Row 1 of the Short Row Heel should read “knit to the last 2 stitches, turn”

On the Slipper Shaping it should read

  • Repeat Row 1 and 2 five times for a total of ten rows
