Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky, oversized chunky yarn in pastel tones (e.g., pastel pink, mint green, lavender, and baby blue)
• Needles: US size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 6 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends and sewing seams

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using the long-tail cast-on method, cast on 20 stitches. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy knitting.
2. Cuff: Work in 1x1 ribbing (knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch) for 6 rows. This will create a stretchy cuff that hugs your ankle comfortably.
3. Body of Slipper:
   • Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row.
   • Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row.
   • Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until the piece measures 8 inches from the cast-on edge. This will form the main body of the slipper.
4. Toe Shaping:
   • Row 1: (Knit 2 stitches, knit 2 together) repeat to end of the row. You should have 15 stitches remaining.
   • Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row.
   • Row 3: (Knit 1 stitch, knit 2 together) repeat to end of the row. You should have 10 stitches remaining.
   • Row 4: Purl all stitches across the row.
   • Row 5: (Knit 2 together) repeat to end of the row. You should have 5 stitches remaining.
5. Finishing:
   • Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches). Thread the tail through a tapestry needle.
   • Draw the tail through the remaining 5 stitches, pulling tight to close the toe of the slipper.
   • Sew the seam from the toe to the cuff using the mattress stitch for a seamless finish.
   • Weave in all ends securely to prevent any unraveling.
6. Repeat: Make a second slipper following the same instructions to complete your cozy pair.

Now you have your very own pair of Chunky Pastel Streetwear Slippers! Enjoy the comfort and style they bring to your home.
