Knitting pattern slipper with a thick sole." An easy knitting pattern"
A free knitting pattern slipper with a thick double sole is below. This pattern is easy and the slippers are comfortable. The first thing that seems to ware out on slippers are the soles. This double sole pattern helps them to last a bit longer and makes them warmer and gives them more cushion to walk on. Slipper Knitting Patterns It seems I am always making slippers for one member of the family or another. These are great for charities also. Not a lot of work, a basic pattern and yet very much appreciated. These are warmer than the traditional knitted slipper.
Easy Knitting Slipper The double sole knitting slipper pattern is really pretty basic and make up fairly quickly. No fancy stitches are involved just knit and purl. It is just a matter of picking up and dropping the extra strand of yarn every so many stitches. Free Knitting Pattern Slipper Below is the free pattern written and in a graph. I make the graph up for me to follow when I make the slippers. It may help you visualize what I am writing and understand the pattern easier. Row 1 is knit across with a single strand of yarn. On row 2 you began picking up the second strand of yarn for the center 9 stitches. On these stitches you will knit two strands together, only for these stitches. Basic knitting instructions are (Side of slipper) knit 10 stitches with single strand. (Slipper sole) Pick up second strand of yarn and knit 9 stitches with double strands. (Other side of slipper) drop second strand and knit next 10 stitches with single strand.
