Knit Easy Pom Pom Slippers

Here’s a simple guide on how to knit easy pom pom slippers:

Materials:

• Yarn (bulky or super bulky for quicker knitting)
• Knitting needles (size appropriate to your yarn)
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Cardboard for pom poms
• Optional: Leather or felt for soles

Instructions:

1. Cast On:
   • Cast on a number of stitches that will fit around your foot comfortably. A good starting point is about 30-40 stitches.
2. Knitting the Body:
   • Knit in garter stitch (knit every row) until the slipper is the desired length. This will form the top of the slipper.
3. Shaping the Heel:
   • Divide your stitches into three sections.
   • Knit the first and third sections.
   • Purl the middle section.
   • Continue this pattern until the heel is the desired shape.
4. Shaping the Toe:
   • Gradually decrease stitches on both sides until you have about 10-15 stitches remaining.
   • Knit these stitches together to form the toe.
5. Finishing:
   • Weave in the ends.
   • Sew the sides of the slipper together, leaving the top open.

Making Pom Poms:

1. Cut two circles of cardboard, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
2. Wrap yarn around the cardboard circles, crossing the yarn over itself.
3. Cut the loops of yarn around the edge of the cardboard.
4. Tie a piece of yarn tightly around the center of the pom pom.
5. Cut the cardboard circles away.
6. Trim the pom pom to your desired shape.

Attaching Pom Poms:

1. Sew the pom poms to the top of the slippers.

Adding Soles (Optional):

1. Cut out leather or felt soles to fit the bottom of the slippers.
2. Sew or glue the soles to the slippers.

Tips:

• For a cozy lining, you can knit an additional layer and sew it inside the slipper.
• Experiment with different yarn weights and colors to create unique slippers.
• Watch video tutorials for visual guidance.
