Easy construction using a variety of knitting techniques is the highlight of this comfy slipper design!

The fold-down cuff and colorful Fair Isle instep are worked with a single strand of yarn, while the Stockinette stitch sides and twisted-rib bottom of the slipper are worked with 2 strands. The result is a comfy, warm slipper, perfect for cozy evenings at home.

You’ll be incorporating a few “Wrap and Turns” as you complete your project - I’ve included a link to a tutorial for those who may be unfamiliar with the technique. Also, I’ve included step-by-step instructions for how to complete the Kitchener Stitch closure at the heel.
