Knit Yourself a Pair of Slippers

April 26, 2023 by Sarah White

Slippers might seem like a cold-weather project (and if you’re in the colder part of the world, now’s a great time to make some!), but I think slippers are even more important in the summer.

I don’t wear shoes in the house, and in the summer I don’t want to wear socks if I’m wearing sandals when I go out. But my feet tend to get cold in any weather, so a pair of slippers is a great way to keep my feet warm in the house without having to wear socks.

And of course I’ll also wear them with socks when it’s cold outside. So basically I’m saying there’s not a bad time to knit, or to wear, slippers. Here are a few patterns to get you started.

I love the classic look of a garter stitch slipper, and this pattern from Kween Bee on Etsy is a good one. It is a moccasin style bootie with a cuff, which will keep it on your foot. It’s worked on straight needles and there are lots of photos in the pattern to show you how it all comes together.

Another great option for a garter stitch slipper is Lisa Chemery’s Cozy Toesies. The sole is worked flat, then you pick up stitches and work the top of the foot and the cuff in rounds. The cuff folds over and has elastic inside to ensure the slippers stay right where you want them. This pattern is available on Ravelry.

The slipper sock booties from Lulu Pattern on Etsy knit up super fast in super bulky yarn. They’re worked flat and seamed, and available in four sizes.

The Better Dorm Room Slippers from Kriskrafter on Ravelry are worked with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together for extra thickness and durability. It also makes them a fun stash busting project. They are knit flat and seamed and are a super quick project — the designer says they can knit a sock in about two hours.

The Woodland Warmers on Ravelry from designer Claire Slade are so pretty and they fit your feet well, too, because there’s a lot of shaping involved to make it hug the foot better than a lot of slippers do. The sole is worked flat and the rest of the slipper is worked in the round, and this one uses bulky yarn.

The combination of garter stitch and stockinette on the Cloud Slippers from Adrienne Sullivan gives these slippers a distinctive look. They’re super quick and easy to knit and you can make any of the four adult sizes with just one skein of super bulky yarn. This free pattern is available on Ravelry.

Knitting Pattern Review: Sabai Top by PaulaStrickt

Trending now — and for good reason!

Alright fellow knitters, if you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest lately, you’ve probably spotted the Sabai Top popping up everywhere. And let me tell you — the hype is totally justified. This lightweight, drapey top by PaulaStrickt has quickly become a must-knit, and it’s easy to see why.

The Sabai Top has that magical mix of style and simplicity. With its elegant A-line shape, soft rolled neckline, and relaxed fit, it flatters every body and suits just about every wardrobe. It’s knit top-down in the round, which means no seams (yes please!), and it flows beautifully thanks to its clever shaping.

It’s ideal for warmer weather and perfect for layering. I’ve seen it styled casually over jeans or thrown over a sundress, and honestly? It looks stunning every single time. That easy, wearable style is what’s made this one take off in the knitting world right now.

PaulaStrickt’s instructions are beautifully laid out, with both English and German versions included. It’s written with clarity and care, and includes helpful photos throughout. I’d say it’s best for confident beginners and up — if you’re comfortable knitting in the round and shaping, you’ll be right at home.

The sizing is generous and inclusive, and it’s so adaptable with different fibres. Linen, cotton, bamboo blends — they all shine in this pattern. I’ve cast on with a blush cotton-linen from my stash, and it’s knitting up like a dream.

This is one of those patterns you just know you’ll make more than once. The fit, the drape, the ease… it’s everything I want in a handmade top. No wonder it’s trending — it’s the kind of timeless knit that never really goes out of style.
