Turkish Ballerinas
Cozy slippers knitted flat and in the round.
The i-cord trim is knitted as you go along and becomes an elastic casing - no finishing required. With this technique, these ballerinas stay on the foot and you do not need to fiddle with accurate measurements.
The fairisle pattern makes them interesting to knit and adds warmth, cushiness and comfort.
Finished sizes: 5/6 (7/8, 9/10)
Requires 60 g of sock yarn – 30 g of each color
2.75mm DPNs and 2.75 circular needle
Round-end needle for grafting and inserting elastic
Sewing needle and thread for securing both ends of elastic
60 cm elastic - 4mm wide
