Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in black and white
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using black yarn, cast on 40 stitches onto your US 8 (5mm) knitting needles.
2. Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing (K1, P1) for 1 inch. This will create a snug cuff for your slippers.
3. Textured Pattern:
   • Switch to white yarn.
   • Begin the textured pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K2, *P2, K2; repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): P2, *K2, P2; repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until the piece measures 2 inches from the cast-on edge.
4. Incorporate Bobble Stitches:
   • Switch back to black yarn.
   • On the next Right Side row, incorporate a bobble stitch every 4 stitches:
   • Bobble Stitch: (K1, P1, K1, P1, K1) into the next stitch, turn your work, P5, turn, K5, turn, P5, turn, K5, then pass the second, third, fourth, and fifth stitches over the first stitch to complete the bobble.
   • Continue in stockinette stitch (knit all rows) for 3 inches, maintaining bobbles every 4 stitches on Right Side rows.
5. Shape the Toe:
   • Row 1: K2tog (knit two together), K to last 2 stitches, K2tog.
   • Row 2: Purl all stitches.
   • Repeat these two rows until you have 10 stitches remaining on your needles.
6. Finish the Slipper:
   • Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.
   • Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close the toe of the slipper.
   • Sew the seam along the sole and back of the slipper using the long tail.
   • Weave in all ends to secure your work.
