Scrumptious Tufted Slipper Socks
About the Design: Tufting, commonly known as shagging in the US, is an age-old knitting technique that originated with hand knitters in New England and Canada. It was traditionally used to make mittens warmer, and today, it’s perfectly suited for creating cozy slipper socks. The tufting technique adds a delightful, cushy inner layer to the slipper socks, providing extra insulation and keeping your feet snug and warm against cold drafts. These socks are not only easy to knit but also feature a fun and quick tufting process that can be done after the socks are completed. What makes these slipper socks truly scrumptious? The luxurious yarn—Lamb’s Pride Worsted, held double—creates an incredibly soft and cozy finish. Each sample showcases two contrasting colors for a beautiful tweed effect, so be sure to choose the two colors you love the most for your unique pair!

Gauge: To ensure a perfect fit, the gauge is crucial—15 stitches and 22 rounds equal 4 inches (10 cm) [3.75 stitches and 5.5 rounds equal 1 inch (2.5 cm)] over stockinette stitch when using size 9 needles or the size that helps you achieve the gauge. Remember, taking the time to check your gauge can save you time and effort in the long run, ensuring your knitted slipper socks are warm and cozy just as intended!
Whether you're making them for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, these tufted slipper socks are a wonderful addition to any cozy wardrobe. Enjoy the satisfying process of creating these delightful slipper socks, and revel in the luxurious comfort they provide!
