Little Duffers

Introducing the Little Duffers Slipper Pattern! This delightful pattern is specifically designed for toddlers and children, serving as the mini version of our popular Duffers slipper pattern. These cozy slippers start at a finished foot length of just 10 cm / 4 inches and are available in increments of approximately 1.25 cm / 1/2 inch, extending up to a comfortable 19 cm / 7 1/2 inches. Due to the challenges in achieving precise conversions between shoe sizes and actual foot length, we recommend using the finished foot length as your primary guide for determining the perfect size. While shoe sizes are provided as a general reference, measuring your child's foot length will ensure the best fit.

For added convenience, I recommend using a circular needle when knitting these adorable slippers; however, you can also choose to use straight needles if that is your preference. The pattern spans eight comprehensive pages, featuring detailed written instructions for knitting the slippers both flat and in the round. It also includes a helpful chart with figures covering all sizes and knitting methods. All you need to do is fill in the corresponding figures from the chart onto the designated pattern page for the slipper size and knitting method you are using.

When it comes to materials, I highly recommend Cascade 220 non super wash yarn, but you can opt for any worsted weight yarn that is suitable for felting. The Little Duffers slippers make a perfect gift or a delightful treat for your little ones, combining warmth, comfort, and style. Start your crafting journey today and make a pair of these charming and functional slippers that your children will love! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern offers the versatility and support you need. Happy knitting!
