I wish I had looked at everyone's comments on here BEFORE trying to atttempt this pattern- it has been a NIGHTMARE for me the past few days trying to complete it. I have finished ONE slipper (minus the top strap) only by REWRITING the pattern and praying. Why didn't the author of this pattern actually TEST it BEFORE posting it?! HORRIBLE!
Instructions are too confusing!
I think maybe they mean K4, CO 8, K4??? Very confusing pattern... Its a shame, its exactly the type of slipper I was looking for... anyone have some good links to something like this?
These instructions are not very clear at all. . . . .. . . .it's very confusing. . . . .. .
I found these really tricky too - what a shame!
If anyone has an accurate set of instructions I'd really like to see them
Thanks
Can someone please help me....I am relatively new to knitting and am confused by "Now you split the top into two. K8 cast off. knit 4, k8." Do I knit 8, then cast off one? then I'm only left with 9 so cannot knit 4, then knit 8...... really confused about this part and cannot find anything on the web to explain.....
the slippers look really cool , but the time it says is not true it says it takes less than 30 mins it takes you about an hour to make the sole
The slippers are adorable. I only finished them by using common sense. The directions made no sense at all - for example - "repeat these 4 rows..." when there were only 3 rows. Another example is when making the top the instructions say, "work as for top..." Well, duh, this is the top. The instructions get a 1 star only. Very, very poor, and I have been knitting for over 30 years. A beginner would have quit immediately.
This pattern is very unclear. I've been knitting for a while and still can't understand it. More pictures would be nice too.
