These slippers are knitted from heel to toe, in the round, featuring a simple motif with elongated slipped stitches on the top of the foot and i-cord edge around the foot opening. The slippers are worked with Aran weight yarn at a fairly tight gauge to ensure durability.

YARN AND YARDAGE:
Aran weight to achieve gauge. The sample is made with Plotulopi from Istex (100 g - 300 m / 328 yards) held double
70 (85) 100 grams of Plotulopi OR approx. 130 (155) 180 meters / 142 (170) 197 yards of Aran weight yarn

YARN SUBSTITUTIONS:
You can make these slippers with any kind of yarn and this pattern is great for using up those awkward skeins lingering in your stash. If you are using non-sock yarn and worried about durability, you could always add a strand of silk or nylon mohair / alpaca - it will make the slippers extra cozy and way more durable. The slip stitch pattern will be best visible when using single-coloured yarn or yarn with long colour gradients

SIZES:
1 (2) 3 equivalent to 40 (44) 48 sts. When choosing the size please consider that your slippers need to fit with a negative ease of around 10%. Length of the slippers can be easily adjusted.
