For the best results, we recommend using Knit Picks Wool of Andes Tweed. You'll need two 50g skeins in complementary colors to add dimension to your designs. The sample pattern utilizes Wool of Andes Tweed Worsted in beautiful hues: MC: Lighthouse Heather and CC: Down Heather, offering a stunning visual contrast that enhances your knitting project.
To achieve the perfect fit, use a US3 (3.25mm) 32” circular needle, or opt for a size that allows you to meet the following gauge: 20 stitches and 36 rounds per 4” in stockinette stitch worked in the round. This ensures your slippers will turn out just the right size and with the desired snugness.
Essential notions for this project include stitch markers to help track your progress, a cable needle for any intricate designs you may want to incorporate, and a darning needle for weaving in those pesky ends. As you embark on this crafty adventure, you’ll enjoy the satisfaction of creating beautifully knitted slippers that are sure to be treasured for years to come.
