Kids Knit Slipper by Monique Rae Designs
What Is Being Made
The Kids Knit Slipper Pattern #72 is a pair of children's slippers designed to provide maximum foot coverage with a rounded upper. These slippers are engineered to fit both left and right feet using identical knitting instructions, eliminating the need to work separate pieces for each side. The design features a wide width sole option, making it adaptable for different foot shapes and sizes.
Construction Method
This pattern is worked knitted in one piece with no sewing required, streamlining the construction process and creating seamless, durable slippers. The slippers are sized using a color-coded system for small, medium, and large children's sizes. The pattern includes specialized instructions for wide width soles, accommodating various fit preferences.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
The Kids Knit Slipper employs fundamental knitting techniques suitable for intermediate-level crafters. The primary stitch used throughout most of the pattern is the knit stitch, creating a dense, warm fabric. Shaping is achieved through strategic decreases, including k2tog (knit two together) reductions that narrow the foot opening and refine the slipper's silhouette. Increases are incorporated using m1 (make one) techniques to expand the sole width where needed. The pattern spans 65 rows, with specific row-by-row instructions guiding stitch counts from the initial cast-on through the final closure.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
- Yarn Weight: Worsted weight (Category 4) yarn, used doubled throughout the entire pattern for added warmth and durability
- Yardage Requirements: Approximately 2.6 ounces and 163 yards for small size; 2.8 ounces and 174 yards for medium size; 3.0 ounces and 186 yards for large size. Wide width versions may require additional yardage
- Needles: US 8 (5.0mm) circular needle measuring 24–29 inches, or double-pointed needles in the same size
- Additional Materials: Stitch markers for tracking pattern sections, a row counter to monitor progress through the 65-row sequence, and a yarn needle for weaving in ends
Gauge and Fit
The pattern specifies a gauge of 16 stitches and 24 knitted rows equaling 4 inches in the knit stitch. Achieving this gauge is essential for proper slipper sizing and fit. The three size options (small, medium, large) are managed through stitch count variations indicated in the row-by-row instructions, ensuring the slippers conform properly to different children's foot dimensions.
