Follow your feet slippers

hese slippers are seamless and top down, with no heel to turn and no picking up of stitches or short rows - yet they hug the foot and stay on beautifully. I’ve designed them to have an anatomically correct profile on the side of the foot - a bit shallower at the toe end so they really follow the form of your foot. Now you can follow your feet wherever they take you, without tripping over a sagging slipper.

Sizes
These are actual foot sizes. Choose the size closest to your actual size (the pattern contains negative ease)

19cm-20.5/7 ½-8in in circumference and foot length 22-23cm/8 ¾ -9in

21-22cm/8 ¼ - 8 ¾ in circumference and foot length 23.5-24.5cm/9 ¼ -9 ¾ in

23-24cm/9-9 ½ in circumference and foot length 25.5-26.5cm/10-10 ½

25-25.5cm/9 ¾ -10 in circumference and foot length 27-28cm/10 ¾ -11 in

Construction and techniques
Top down, in the round, and seamless and shaped just by increases and decreases. Small amount of grafting on the sole (instructions and links to tutorials included)

Gauge & needles
14 sts to 10cm/4 in over stockinette. I suggest average knitters try 5.5mm/US 9). Pattern is written for circular needles. I think these ones could be worked on DPNs (though I have not tested this, so this is at your own risk!)

Yarn choices and yardage
I used Hayfield Bonus Chunky. Yarn A: colourway 0689 (pink), Yarn B: colourway 0651 (dark blue). This is an acrylic yarn for practicality - but wool or mixed fibres will be fine too.
