Quick, simple and fun, these slippers can be knit for any size foot at any gauge without short rows, seaming or complex math. All you need are your foot circumference and length, your stitch gauge and row gauge. Work all in one color, or with contrast color at the heel and toe. You can even get fancy and add a little colorwork on the part that’s worked in the round. This pattern includes both the general formula and a specific pattern with all the math done for you so you can see how it works. Happy knitting!
