Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn (choose a soft, thick yarn for maximum comfort)
• Needles: US 10 (6mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches onto your knitting needle. Make sure your stitches are not too tight; they should slide easily on the needle.
2. Work in Stockinette Stitch:
   • For the first 8 rows, knit 1 row and then purl the next row. Repeat this until you have completed 8 rows.
3. Begin Loop Stitch Pattern:
   • Start your loop stitch pattern by following these steps:
   • *Knit 1 stitch, then make a loop by wrapping the yarn around your thumb and knitting into the same stitch again. Repeat from * across the row until you reach the end.
   • This creates a fluffy, textured look. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for an even appearance.
4. Continue Loop Stitch:
   • Continue in the loop stitch pattern for a total of 20 rows. Keep checking your work to ensure the loops are forming correctly.
5. Switch Back to Stockinette Stitch:
   • After completing the loop stitch section, switch back to stockinette stitch for the next 8 rows. Remember to knit one row and purl the next.
6. Bind Off: Once you have completed the stockinette stitch rows, bind off all stitches. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use your left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
7. Seam the Slippers:
   • Fold your knitted piece in half to form the slipper shape. Using a yarn needle and a length of yarn, seam the sides and back of the slipper together. Make sure to secure your stitches tightly for durability.
8. Repeat for Second Slipper: Follow the same steps to create the second slipper. Make sure to check that both slippers are identical in size and shape.

Congratulations! You have successfully knitted your very own cozy loop stitch slippers. Enjoy the warmth and comfort they bring as you lounge around your home!
