These slippers are knitted from the sole up. Picked up stitches and knitting in the round means there is no seaming to be done at the end. The ribbing on the cuffs help to keep the slippers on little feet. These are a very quick knit, with each slipper taking around 1.5 hours to complete.

The pattern is written for sport weight yarn but is easily adapted to make larger or smaller sizes by using different weights of yarn and changing the needle size as appropriate.

Techniques used:
knitting in the round
picking up stitches
short rows
casting off in rib.
