I would love to make these slippers, however as a beginner to intermediate knitter I don't quite understand how to do some of the instructions, such as Sl.l (slip together). Does this mean to slip st the first ch & then 2 together, or 2 together from the start? Also what size do these slippers fit. Are they just for adults or can you make them for children. If for adults what size are they & if for children is there a pattern for them. I really want to make these so please let me know the answers to these questions. Thank you. I like them very much & they do look very easy to make.
what does the slip together mean. pattern says sl. 1.
what size needle for these slippers
What size are these slippers?????????????
What is the gauge?
These are so cute - a lil ole skool but they work ... I'm going to use solid wool colors.
thanks for sharing - their quick Christmas gifts for the family n local hospitals.
Just literally finished making these, and now my feet are toasty warm! Lovely project :)
Nope, no rows missing. Do the math...Rows 1 & 2 equals 2 rows plus 2 x 23 equals 46 plus the 2 equals 48...next row is 49.
When you do the first two rows it asks for you to repeat these same 2 rows 23 times which add up to 46 rows (1 row+2row=2 rows, then 2 rows X 23repeats on 1 and 2=46 rows, then 46 rows + first 2 rows 48 rows) Then you follow row 49 as in pattern above.
I learned to knit these slippers many years ago, when I first started knitting. Have made many for nursing homes, etc. My directions used 2 strands of yarn, and included a separate sole knit with 3 strands of yarn, one of which was pure wool. You can't get as many stitches as the middle section of slippers, too bulky, but just follow the general length, etc. They seem to last forever!

Are there rows missing? You say to repeat the first 2 rows 23 times then you go to the 49th row-what about the rows inbetween?
