Fancy Slippers

The bottom is reinforced with a double layer, but you can also add an insole if you’d like even more thickness and softness inside.

Since I designed this slipper to fit myself, the resulting slipper is approximately a women’s 7/8 or a men’s 5.5/6/5. I have only made the slippers once, for myself, and I’m honestly not sure how to resize a pattern like this, but maybe I’ll come back to it and add more sizes.

There aren’t any advanced stitches or techniques in this pattern, but it can be a lot to figure out how everything goes together and there are several colour changes, so it’s intermediate and not recommended for beginners.

Materials

  • Size 4 medium acrylic yarn in Colours A, B, and C (mint, purple, lavender)
  • 4mm hook
  • Insoles (optional)
