This is a quick knit that extends the life of hardworn hand knit or hand felted slippers, by providing a knitted slipper retread or innersole that can be sewn inside or over the outer sole of the slipper. Use sock leftovers, and your usual sock needles. Using sock yarn with some nylon will increase the life of the slipper retreat.

Pattern can be easily resized, just cast on more or less, increase more or less, gauge really isn’t important but firmer rather than looser will provide more durability.
