Thank you SO much for this tutorial! My aunt made these for absolutely everybody and our annual Christmas gift of these slippers was always looked forward to. Unfortunately, she passed away far too young (47) and she took the instructions with her to the grave. That was 20 years ago and, in recognition of her passing, I have been looking on-line for these specific slippers so I can now carry on the tradition. You have fulfilled this dream and I thank you for that. Aunt Verna's legend will carry on.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

So glad you found me and you can now carry on the tradition! Sorry she passed so young.

[@Antlove4eva]

My great grandma who recently passed always made these slippers and it was everyone’s favorite winter gift

[@harliejayne8912]

aw my aunt also always knitted everyone slippers for Christmas and passed away and I want to start that tradition again

[@cc83jc85]

Similar with me..mine are mostly step grandchildren..never ever call them that…so I’ll be teaching the eldest how to do this as their biological grandmother was a knitter..I haven’t knitted in38 years..but started with you..sewing I’m doing well! Thank you..I’ll be teaching in English how to do these..I learnt in Spanish and german😊

[@jenthulhu]

I've been knitting for about 40 years and this is still extremely appealing as a project! Perfect house slippers for a midwestern winter! I'll make mine from my own handspun wool. :)

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

I love quick little projects like this too! Enjoy! Lucky you to have homespun wool!

[@normacamstra675]

My dear mom made these exact slippers for everyone for Christmas gifts. She passed away 6 years ago and I went on looking for the tutorial for these exact ones as she made them. Thanks Patti, her legacy will carry on.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

So glad you found me and you can continue to knit the slippers in her honour.

[@heidicarder5528]

Same story for my Grandma! I am looking forward to trying my hand at making these. ❤️

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Lots of our grammas loved these slippers. Enjoy knitting up a pair or two or three.

[@stephkimball3892]

My grandmother taught me to knit when I was around 10 years old during the 1960's. I made these exact slippers for EVERYONE one Christmas. I didn't realize it was such a popular pattern. I have picked up knitting needles in over 50 years but you've inspired me to make a pair, thanks!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Those are the best memories of grammas teaching us what they know. That will be a fun project for you with the memories to go along with you while you pick up those needles again and knit the slippers.

[@rosepatterson951]

Love that, one of my Aunt's made me slippers and now I'm going to try, wish me luck 😅

[@rahannneon]

i remember this pattern from when i learned to knit, in the late 60s. it used to be a standard handout. thank you so very much for bringing it back.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

You are so welcome! Yes it’s been around for a long time.

[@bettonefamily5791]

My great grandma used to make slippers almost exactly like these!!! I was always so happy when she would make them for me, she passed away when I was 13. I can’t wait to teach my daughters how to make these. Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

A lovely tradition to pass on for sure! Enjoy!

[@Russian_lore]

My grandma taught me to crochet but the one item she used to knit for her family were these slippers. Since she passed away I taught myself to knit. When I came across your video it made my heart so happy!!! I’m going to make my family these for Christmas this year so we all get to have a little gift from my grandma!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Ahhhh, what a sweet idea for your grandma to be remembered. Enjoy knitting your cherished slippers for everyone.

[@SwellKitchen]

My grandmother used to make these for us as a kid. It was the only kind of slippers I ever wore and then of course, we grow up. She passed away some time ago now, and I've never known how to make these until this very moment. Thank you so soooooo much for bringing this back into my life. I cannot thank you enough.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

You are so welcome. Always so nice to keep traditions and memories going.

[@melissaweber4998]

Thankyou, my grandmother made these and I always wanted to learn but never did before she passed, hope to keep the tradition.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

So nice to keep family traditions going. These slippers are great for that.

[@wakamamalia]

What a blessing! I used to make these slippers years ago when my children were young. Now I'm a grandmother of 11 and I've been thinking about this pattern and how I might get my hands on it. Bless you for sharing, I really appreciate it and so will my grandchildren. Arohanui from New Zealand.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Hello Virginia in New Zealand! Wow! 11 grandchildren! I thought I had lots with 3. So glad you found me. Enjoy knitting lots and lots of slippers!

[@GailVold]

I am 74 & becamr a widow a little over 3 Thanksgivings 3 months shy of 50 years of marriage. I loved making these for my daughter ( now 53) . But 5hen I moved 2 years ago to Montenegro in the Adriatic sea. Was yrying to remember how to make these but was having problems & tonight decided yo Google slipper patterns & was ecstatic to see your pattern printed!!! Thank you so very much. I have here with.me a large plastic covered trash can that I filled with big yarn skeins placed in the shipping container so am already working on my first slipper & will make some for Christmas gifts. You are a true BLESSING. Have a BLESSED 🎄!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Ahhh. Thanks for sharing your lovely story. So glad you found me. Enjoy knitting lots of slippers!

[@eviejacobson6950]

OMG so happy to find this pattern again! Made these for my children and grandchildren but forgot about them...now I can get going on them for my great grandchildren!!! Thanks so much!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Yeah! Glad you found me and the slippers!

[@sandraimboden6660]

I learned to knit at a nearly free class when I was 20. Life gave me the skill to only do a couple sleepers and a booties for my coming baby. I dropped the hobby not being able to afford the wool and eventually began crochet which required less concentration on my part. This thanksgiving my grandson suffered cardiac arrest that was Covid related. On Christmas Eve, I picked up yarn and knitting needles and started your slippers I had done in the late 60s. It took more concentration and I did a few rows at a time to fill my sadness and to concentrate on other than our loss. Thank you for your no side effects medicine. May you have a blessed New Year.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

So sorry to hear of your loss. Very sad news. I’m glad that the slippers have given you some relief from sadness.

[@claragowin2604]

Love it! I was in High School when I was taught to knit and made these very same slippers! Now 50 plus years and 100s of items I still love it!!!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

These slippers are classic for sure!

[@anitavermaak6268]

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Glad you like the slippers!

[@sharonjustice7837]

I cannot thank you enough for the pattern and walking this new by thru making these slippers. For more than 40 years my grandmother made a pair of these slipper every year for each of her 4 children and their spouses and each of her 15 grandkids, and the great grand kids, and the great, great grandchildren. We lost her almost 3 years ago and it has been so hard without her. I am so excited to remember her they your video!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Aahhh! I’m so happy that you are able to hold onto beautiful memories from the kindness of her heart to knit everyone slippers!

[@rosekhan5742]

Nice boots thank you for sharing but instead of doubling the wool wouldn’t it be best to use a thicker fluffier wool instead?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Yes you can! Because I already had the yarn I wanted to use it up. Also I find that there is an abundance of this medium weight yarn and is low in price so the best to demonstrate and teach with.

[@mmbenoit]

Thank you for posting! Love the tutorial style. My mother did this exact model ! My first pair was done overnight. I remember mother casting on as I kissed her and my aunt goodnight. Next morning, on the bed side table was a beautiful ski blue pair of sleepers ornated with giant pom-pom (~2")on top done by my aunt. I was 8 years old , I still remember. Today, I am learning to knit and these will be my project. Thanks again

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. Such fond memories to have. Enjoy knitting your slippers!

I have watched many tutorial videos and this is the best I've ever seen. Wow, so many details, you can't go wrong. Looking forward to watching others from you. Thank you so much!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Thanks for watching! Glad you are enjoying my videos!

[@YKKY]

I am somewhat advanced beginner in knitting as I picked up the craft to honour my late grandmother who was famed for her beautiful knits in her town. When I opened this video today, tears flooded my eyes. I remembered the red slippers she made for me, the stash of slippers in her hall for all visitors... Memories came flooding in and I raided my stash, found lovely wool and decided to knit these and call them granny's slippers. Thank you very much for the tutorial but also for bringing granny back for a moment ❤️

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Aaahhh. Such a lovely message. Thank you for sharing. Yes, these slippers were loved by our grandmothers and great grand mothers. So nice to carry on the traditions.

[@szczuplutka85]

My grandmother used to make the same ones

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Good memories of grand mother’s are the best. Well maybe someday soon you will be able to watch the video and learn how to knit these slippers.

Thank you so much! This video was exactly what I needed. My grandma has made these slippers for all of us our entire lives. I wanted to make her a pair as a surprise. I spent a week deciphering her written directions and was very unclear about how to finish the toe. I wish I would have fou this video earlier!!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Ahhh! That is so sweet that you are going to knit a pair for her now. I’m sure she will be so pleased!

Well done “different is beautiful”. I am 75 & tried this and had so many mistakes to start but I persevered and managed fine, Patty - you did a great job with the video! I ended up putting a safety pin on the side I had the purl as I kept forgetting. My slippers were too small but I will make adjustments with my next pair. Never to old to learn something new!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Well good for you for your perserverence! We are never to old to try anything! Good luck on your next pair. You will have it mastered for the next slippers!

[@psrsings]

Thank you so much for this video. My grandmother made these for us all for years and even tried to teach me to knit when I was 9, but at that time I had places to go and people to annoy and didn't learn. I must have learn enough, though, because when I was an adult and wanted to learn - I learned from a book. I had to search around for a pattern and always came close but not close enough for me to continue making her slippers for the family, so I made it up and eventually figured it out. I always had trouble with the toe so thank you for that missing part of my pattern. The thing that made Grandma's slippers so, so special was that she added an extra outer sole that could be removed and replaced when it got a hole in it. Our job was to return the slippers to Grandma before there was a hole on the inside sole and she would replace the outside sole to make them good as new. I have continued that with my family. When new they were very slippery and I remember getting a running start towards the hallway and then skidding the length of the hallway. It became a Christmas morning tradition and competition to see who could slide the furthest down the hallway. Also as my mother has gotten older her slippers are too slick for her to safely use, so I have added strips of hot glue to the bottom so her feet won't slide out from under her. I also have sized down the pattern for baby booties that uses my leftover yarn stash and I add jingle bells for baby's amusement. Grandma passed away 40 years ago, but I still have a pair of these slippers that she made for me. I do not wear them on a regular basis as they are too precious to me. I keep them on a special shelf along side some other things she made and some very special crocheted thing made by my other grandmother. I grew up very lucky have one grandmother who knitted and one who crocheted. They also both sewed. My great-grandmother and my mother were and are quilters, so I had a well rounded upbringing. I am in the process of teaching my daughter-in-law to knit (I had 2 sons.) I taught both my boys to at least sew enough to repair their own clothes and taught the younger to knit and crochet a little. The older boy is handicapped and does not have enough control over his fine motor skills, but he tried.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Aaahhhh. Thank you for sharing your story and a very touching one. We are so blessed to have mothers and grandmothers who knit and sew for us and the thought of bringing those skills down through the family members is truly so special. Enjoy those slippers for many more years to come!

[@rosebebbington7073]

Brilliant. First time I have seen a pattern written out , beneath the video instead of having to click and click again and sometimes still not finding it ! Fantastic video. Well Done.

[@maryneal6480]

Our family called these Nana slippers because we always got them for Christmas presents from ...yep... Nana. I started knitting about 25 years after Nana passed (for therapy as an ex-smoker) and had to guess how to make them from an old photo. I have been making them for years but they never seemed "quite right". After watching this video I am so excited!! I am going to start a new pair tonight with your instructions and I know they will be PERFECT!! YAY!!!

Look at the stitches. Knit the knits and purl the purls. The knit stitches will look like little v's. The purl stitches will look like a turtleneck sweater.

I have been searching high and low for a pattern like this.....these are what my grandmother used to make me for Christmas every year! I didn’t appreciate them then, they were just slippers.....yeah right. Thanks so much! You made my Christmas, Christmas again!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Glad you found me and thanks for the touching story. Your grandmother’s slippers will now be appreciated by all. Merry Christmas!

[@rustydip1]

I noticed that you knit with your right hand but you do the sewing with your left hand. I am somewhat ampedexdrious (spelling??) but only for some things, not all. Nice video but wish you talked it through. I have been making these slippers since 1964 but didn't for a long time & had trouble getting them just right so it is so nice to have the right pattern again & the well done video as well. Thank you!!!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

When I was very young I asked a friends mother to teach me how to knit. She knew I was a leftie and said sorry but I will only teach you how to knit right handed. So from then I have always knit right handed. So funny that you noticed that. I have heard that a lot of viewers turn off the sound on videos and just watch for sub titles. Everyone likes something different so it’s hard to please the masses. So I change it up here and there. Crazy huh how the tried and true patterns just hang in there. I’ve made so many slippers as gifts. Love them! Thanks for your support!

Great pattern, l thought l would never find it! Thanx ever so much!😊👋

[@nk3850]

Amazing! I haven't knitted in 15+ years so I forget EVERYTHING! This is going to be my first foray back into Yarnland, and now I'm off to the store to buy some yarn!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Oh that’s great that your getting back into knitting.

[@nk3850]

I’ve made one slipper so far for myself, but I found the toe box area too tight for me. The length is good but I’m wondering if I don’t do the decrease stitches, would this result in a more square / larger toe box? That way my toes don’t feel too tight? Going to try again and I’ll undo the first slipper and use the yarn for my toddler’s pair of slippers :) I bought two huge balls of yarn to make matching slippers for the family. I also got some puffy Fabric paint as I’ve heard it’s good to provide some grip on the bottom (and the pattern I draw on can help us differentiate whose slippers are whose). I’ll do Pom poms too :)

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

A couple ideas. Make the length of the slipper longer or try using the mens sizing for the next one which will give you a wider slipper.

[@serenityrahn5656]

thank you so much for this easy-to-follow video and the beautiful results!

These are AMAZING!! My Grandma taught me how to make them...but with fentax. But wool is so much softer and I never even thought about darning them inside out!! Thank you so much for that! BRILLIANT! I will be watching your tutorial several time over!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Good old grammas. They are the best! I remember using fentex too! Oh my. I think that just aged me. Thanks for watching!

I think these slippers are 'pearls' (they could be gems, but that doesn't work).

[@terinienaber6430]

It was so fun to see someone knitting these! The slipper pattern is the very first item I learned to knit at age four by constantly sitting next to my mother as she was ALWAYS knitting! People did not believe that a four year old could knit but I was always on display knitting.....while waiting in the high school office - for my high school student babysitter to get out of her last class of the day. Students would give me candy if I would show them I could knit!!! This was a very popular pattern in the 50s!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Thanks for the story. Yes they are retro slippers for sure!

[@hastingsgirlscouts613]

Terrific video.... and without the “chatter.” For a very novice knitter, I found the pattern easy and straight forward... I knit my first pair in one day and am now hooked! These are just like the “skids” Meme used to make!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Perfect! Glad you liked the video and have made your first pair of slippers!

[@Antlove4eva]

Adding a third piece of yarn for the bottom part in between the purl stitches Makes it a bit more solid and adds some padding, I love this pattern thank you so much!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Sounds great!

[@maxi15me]

I've been looking for this pattern for several decades. Like Janet below, I learned the pattern in the 60s and made them for everyone on my gift list. I want to revisit the pattern and make them for my sister's grandchildren. thanks

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Glad you found me! Enjoy knitting up some slippers!

[@donnawargo]

Same here! My grandmother would have a big basket full of slippers at Christmas and we all grabbed a few pairs. Cannot wait to make them for next year. Thank you for sharing this!!

[@MyDiamondg]

[@anuradhajain46]

Thanks for the tutorial. My mom who passed away 6 years ago, used to do a lot of knitting and crochet and she knitted the same pattern bed shoes for me which are a bit worn out now! Only difference was that she made them with single yarn instead of doubling it. They were softer and more snug to wear at night. Also easier to knit I guess! Anyways I will try to make ones similar to hers, and take tips from your tutorial. Thanks❤

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

So nice to have things that are hand made that remind us of our loved ones. Enjoy knitting your slippers!

[@tammyleigh6447]

I love this pattern. My grandmother used to make these in the 60`s , 70`s ish. Passed on the pattern to me and now this is my go to pattern for a quick, easy slipper to knit. I love changing the yarn up to different fibers also, try some of the fuzzy yarns etc, so incredibly soft. Just a tip for maybe some beg, but you can use small round stitch markers instead of having to count over each time also. Happy knitting 😊

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

They are a great go to slipper for sure! Yes stitch markers are good too. Thks for watching and thanks for your support!

[@ybk2753]

Thanks for posting. These slippers bring back loving memories of my mother. I'll bet she made hundreds of pairs for family and friends!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Yes, I’m sure a lot of slippers have been knit by loving mothers. Hold on to the great memories.

[@kimberlynorris7628]

Thank you for this awesome and easy to follow pattern! 😃 I only made one slipper in less than a day. I fractured my foot about a month ago, and only have 2 pairs of socks that will fit over the ace bandage I have to wear 24/7. I have some extra yarn left over from other projects, so I plan on making more in different colors to get me through the cold weather ahead! 😂Thank you so much for sharing! ❤

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

I’m so glad that the slippers are working for your fractured foot. I suffer from gout now and then and I couldn’t live without my slippers. I can get them on and I can slide my foot along the floor as lifting a gout foot is very painful. Hope you heal up soon!

Thank you for this! My grandma used to make these for my family, but she has arthritis and can't knit anymore. She doesn't remember this pattern, but I have a pair of slippers to look at and they're just like this except without doubling the yarn! I'm so excited to make these and more for our whole family as we've worn ours out. Thanks!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

It’s so heart warming to hear that you are carrying on the tradition of these slippers. I like the doubling up on the yarn. It makes a more solid slipper. Enjoy knitting!

[@yneil3567]

@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts Can you use bulky wool yarn instead of doubling up? Thank you

Yes you can. I demonstrated with the 4 ply as it is the easiest to find.

[@ooohlaa13]

The graphic way you present this is such an invitation to get started. I have tried to comprehend this type of simple pattern from reading it, and for some reason was sure it would turn out dorky because of the simplicity. But wow you really brought it to life for someone like me who needs to see things to grasp the progress of how it is structured. I have so many stash yarns that I can turn into lovely gifts. I am thinking of so many pretty combos as I have some art yarns, sequin yarns and things I have hand dyed where I want to feature the yarn, not the pattern. I am a lifetime knitter but sometimes just get stuck in the pattern words and not realize its actually this simple!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Well I am very happy that I have inspired you to knit up lots of beautiful slippers. I’m sure they will be gorgeous with all your saved yarn. Make sure the yarn is acrylic and not wool. Would not want them to shrink up on you in the wash.

[@ooohlaa13]

@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts actually I only use natural fibers ... I read a book by Brian Clemente Director of Hippocrates Healing Center in West Palm Beach Fl and he said that acrylic and nylon and polyamide etc offgas the same as mercury does in our teeth and we cannot wash it out or get rid of the subtle fumes ... very interesting, being a health nut ... anyway I am careful washing many slippers I have made of wool, some of them I deliberately felted to fit better ... I love the snuggly feeling of wool on my feet even in summer especially with the a/c on. I love your clear teaching style and have subscribed of course!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

I figured you would have known but you never know so I put it out there. I here you on the more natural choices. Interesting research. Always nice if you can go natural for sure. Enjoy your knitting!
