Thank you for designing this great pattern..can’t wait to start knitting.
Thank you for the wonderful pattern…I can’t wait until I can start making them.
Thank you for the wonderful pattern, I had this pattern for adult slippers and could never figure out how to sew them together, the pictures of the process are great! Now I am anxious to start making these for all my grandchildren, thanks again.
I knit them, see on my website :-) Thanks for the pattern, I knit them in 3hours, with sewing :-)
Get an early start on your gifting this year with this beautiful accessory This is for the intermediate knitter You should know how to knit, purl, increase, decrease, cast on and cast off.
I have been trying to figure out how to make small sizes for little ones and found this pattern. Thank you so very much. j
You’re welcome, jo. I’m glad I could help you out! :)
I made these but it’s too tight for my daughter to get her foot in. What have I done wrong?
Dear Jennifer,
I apologize that the slippers don’t fit your daughter. Was your gauge different than in the pattern. Or perhaps it was too small of a size? I am sorry to hear this, and I hope that you can find a happy owner for them.
Hi! I love these slippers so much! I made a baby version for my granddaughter and now I wan to make them for her mom. Any insight on adult sizing, a women’s size 8.
Thanks so much for your comment, Tanya. I love hearing how my patterns are being put to such great use! :) I actually have an adult size kimono slipper pattern. Here’s the link: http://blogofjoy.com/kimono-slippers/
