Viking Slippers

Discover the charm of our lovely knitted slipper cosies, thoughtfully designed with visitors and visiting in mind. These delightful slippers feature a seamless construction, achieved through Judy’s magic cast-on technique, making them quick and enjoyable to knit. Once completed, they store flat, making them perfect for tucking into a travel bag or keeping in a cozy boot room basket, ready to surprise your guests with a warm and welcoming gesture when they step into your home.

The pattern instructions recommend working backwards and forwards in rows starting from a magic cast-on, but for those who prefer alternative methods, these slippers can also be crafted using a provisional cast-on or, for a more straightforward approach, a straight cast-on that can be seamed upon completion. Once the body of the slippers is complete, they are joined to work in the round, utilizing a fuss-free moss stitch as my go-to insulating stitch for extra warmth and comfort.

With their simple yet elegant design, these knitted slippers are not only practical but also a joy to make, making them my favorite comfort footwear to gift to loved ones. Send your friends and family off with a cozy hug to remember tucked neatly into their suitcases! Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, these slippers make for an ideal project to enhance your knitting skills while creating a heartfelt gift. Join the growing community of knitting enthusiasts embracing this easy-to-follow pattern, and let your creativity shine!
