These are the striped slippers many of us grew up with: knitted flat in blocks of colour, sewn into shape and topped with a pompom. Phentex yarn makes them tough enough to last for years. One pattern covers the whole family, since you simply knit more rows for a bigger foot.
These slippers are an old time favourite! Made with durable
Phentex Slipper & Craft yarn.
These slippers are long lasting.

Cast on 66 sts with light color. K first 6 sts in light color, then 6 sts in dark.
Alternate the colors every 6th st.
All rows are knitways, being careful to twist the light color over the dark one.
Knit until desired length is reached.
For example 20 rows for children, 29 rows for ladies and 32 for men. Cast off by knitting
2 together all the sts.
Cut Phentex long enough for sewing. With a needle pass it through remaining stitches.
Sew 1 stripe inside on both sides of the slippers to make extra gore. Sew heel and toe
on wrong side. Reverse to right side and sew the instep.
Tie a Pompom on top.
