Designed to be worked from the toe to the heel in one seamless piece, these ballet-style slippers offer a snug fit and elegant lines that make them a delightful addition to any wardrobe.

Yarn Requirements: You will need bulk weight yarn, with approximate yardage depending on the size: 85 (95, 115, 135) yards. The size Medium shown in this pattern uses Sweet Paprika Largo Organic, which is made of 100% merino wool and has a weight of 115g per 150 yards. Just one skein of this luxurious yarn is required to complete a pair of slippers!
Gauge: To achieve the right fit and texture, maintain a gauge of 17 stitches and 24 rounds = 4 inches in Stockinette stitch, after blocking. Keep in mind that this gauge is intentionally quite tight for bulky yarn in order to create a dense and durable fabric ideal for cozy slippers that will stand the test of time.
Whether you're making these slippers as a gift or for personal use, this pattern combines simplicity with elegance, ensuring that you can whip up a pair quickly. Enjoy the satisfying process of knitting these stylish slippers, and relish in the comfort they provide!
