Patterns, projects and techniques
These slippers are super easy to knit, plus they’re close fitting, comfortable and reinforced with a knitted sole.
Knit them with a size 10.5 or 11 needle and heavy weight wool for a quick knitted project. Don’t you just love these colors?

As I write this, it’s probably time to start thinking about winter knitting if you haven’t already. And it’s definitely time to think about gift knitting if you have any of that you plan to do for the holidays.
The Dreamy Waves Scarf from Knit Picks, designed by Stacey Winklepleck, would be a great project to go in either category.
It uses two different multicolored yarns and a simple repeating wave pattern to make a project that looks a lot more complicated and dramatic than it is. The gradient look happens naturally just by switching which yarn you’re knitting with.
This pattern uses worsted weight yarn so it’s a pretty quick project even though a scarf is large and this one is pretty wide. It measures 8.5 inches (21.5 cm) wide and 63 inches or 120 cm long. Of course you can make it longer or shorter as you like. As written it takes one ball of each color so it’s a pretty economical project, too.
It’s rated for intermediate knitters but if you know how to do various increases and decreases you’ll be all set. The pattern uses knit 2 together, make 1 left and right, centered double decrease and slip slip knit. All of the stitches are explained in a glossary in the pattern so even if you haven’t done all of them it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out.
The pattern also includes tons of options for different colorways in yarn that Knit Picks sells, so you can see how different combinations knit up before you buy the yarn. That’s such a great idea!
Of course if you already have two multicolored yarns with long color runs on hand, you can absolutely use them, too. It might also be fun, but would give you a totally different look, to use a solid color and a bunch of scraps or one multicolored yarn to see how the different colors play together. So many options!

Summer Shawl and Scarf Knitting Patterns
I love this website and love these slippers with a sole, but cannot print out the instructions. I get a black screen. What to do? Thank you. Natalie Cohen
Hmmm, I was just able to download with no problem, so I’m not sure. It’s a PDF so you may need to save it and then open it in your reader.
The link on ALL free patterns has expired. Can anyone send me the pdf for the slippers with sole pattern?
Go here: https://web.archive.org/web/20140714163506/http://www.allfreeknitting.com/Knitted-Slippers/slippers-with-sole
and you can still download the PDF.
I cannot get this pattern to print either. Can anyone send it to me? I get a blank grey screen. Thank you in advance!
