Community Slippers ENGLISH

Community Slippers are soft and comfortable felt slippers that are knitted quickly with thick yarn and needles. You will find sizes for the whole family in the pattern. This pattern is part of a series of patterns inspired by a fall vacation at my grandmother and grandfather's house. In their hallway there was always a large basket of wool socks in all possible sizes for guests. The idea is that you should be able to knit a small load of slippers and have them available, for the family and for guests. This pattern is my way of introducing a little of my grandmother's spirit into my own home, and maybe yours too?

The slippers are knitted from the ankle down. Stitches are set aside for the heel, the heel is knitted and shaped with short rows. Stitches are picked up on the sides of the foot, decreases are knitted to shape the ankle and then the foot is knitted. Finally, the toe is cast off. Stitches are picked up around the ankle and finished with i-cord edge. The slippers are then felted either by hand, in a washing machine or tumble dryer.

The pattern was originally intended to be included in the fall collection for 2025, but that didn't happen, and Community Slippers ended up in Quistknit's Advent Calendar in 2025. That's why a small embroidery guide has also been added, so you can make a nice Christmas version of the slippers. Three different embroideries are included; Rudolf, Starry Sky and Winter Branch.

The slippers in the pictures in the pattern are knitted in Sandnes Fritidsgarn in the colors 2625 Beigemelert and 2541 Naturmelert (embroidery Winter Branch). The striped slippers are knitted in Viking Garn Hobbygarn in the color Multi Rød.
