Persian Curled Toe Slippers

Discover a playful and modern twist on traditional Persian slippers with this unique knitting pattern! While I was initially tempted to delve into more classic designs—complete with pointed fronts, intricate embroidery, and sturdy soles suitable for outdoor adventures—I ultimately found a delightful balance between Persian aesthetics and American slipper comfort. These charming slippers are knit in the round, starting from the top and working down, featuring innovative short rows to expertly shape the foot and create the iconic curled toe. The design naturally causes the toe to spring upward without the need for any wires or fancy blocking techniques!

This pattern is specially crafted to be worked at a tighter than usual gauge, ensuring durability and longevity in your finished slippers. This is why we recommend using a smaller needle size. If you tend to knit tightly, you may be able to use a larger needle size; however, loose knitters should prepare to select even smaller needles to accommodate the chosen yarn weight.

Each step of the pattern is clearly written out line by line and is also charted for your convenience—choose whichever format suits you best! These adorable slippers were originally crafted in MadelineTosh's luxurious 80/10/10 worsted yarn, but you can easily substitute it with any smooth worsted weight yarn of your choice for a perfect fit. Whether you’re creating a cozy gift for yourself or a loved one, this pattern offers both fun and function, making it a fantastic addition to your knitting repertoire!
