Harrisville Slippers by Whitney Hayward

Craft: Knitting

The Harrisville Slippers are an ultra-simple instant gratification type project, excellent for those who are knitting novices, or who otherwise have chilly toes needing a nice cozy pair of slippers. Worsted or dk weight yarn held double creates the bulky fabric for this pattern, making them a good use of bits and bobs of stash yarn.

b. Decreases are at either side to shape the foot, and the toe.

c. A crochet seam is worked both on the right and wrong side of the slipper once the knitting is complete.
