Easy Ladies Seed Stitch Slippers
These slippers can be knitted in less than three hours and are sure to please anyone
with cold feet! This is a beginner level pattern that I designed myself. It provides you
with practice in using the basic knit and purl stitches in a combination of ways to make
the pattern on the sides of the slipper. The foot of the slipper is knitted sideways and
the sole of the slipper is done in stockinette stitch, which I find is more comfortable to
wear. Enjoy!

Yarn: Worsted Weight Acrylic or Wool
Needles: US Size 8 (or size for gauge)

4 stitches/inch; 8 rows/inch

Knitting the TOE: (To make the toe, you will now pick up stitches along one edge of
the rows you just knitted. This means that you will need to turn your knitted foot 90
degrees to knit the toe.)
With the right side facing toward you, pick up 43 stitches across the row edge. (Picture
below)
