This is a great pattern, much easier than you would think from looking at the beautiful slippers it produces. I encourage you to try it. Since the slippers are made in steps, you can easily make two slippers the same.

You know, you hit the nail right on the head, that's my problem I think, well, one of them, besides being slipperphobic, I can NEVER no matter how I try, make TWO the exact same! I never thought of doing them both, each step together! duh, maybe there is hope for me yet! Thanks for the help, and for the great pics and instructions Heather! :clap

I edited my first slipper instructions to include some things I left out I'm glad I have you all to help, or my "pattern" would be a complete mess! I'm terrible at explaining things.

 

Let's see, where did we stop...oh ya - it's time to sew up that side seam.

 

Fold your rectangle in half, ridges together. As you sew, you will be working up the side, not across the ends. This makes the sewing a little more complicated. Be sure not to sew around the entire stitch, instead, catch individual loops of the stitches with your needle (see pic) I've used a contrasting color to help you see a bit better...

As you can see, my sewing is not perfect, and you shouldn't worry about yours being perfect either. Since you will be using the same color as your slipper - your stitches are not going to show. Once you get the side sewn all the way, cut your yarn and weave in your ends. Turn the piece ridges side out.

 

Let's try it on...the seam goes under your toes, and it should look something like this:

I hit the nail on the head, because I have a terrible time making two items the same too. With these slippers I did both slippers at the same time, a step at a time.

Well how happy was I to see that your pattern is posted!:cheer (don't mine me, I'm back here after a few years and trying to catch up a little!)

You make a very detailed tutorial, I appreciate the effort that went into that! I'm going to make a pair very soon and I really do :ty for sharing your pattern. I like the black version too! Now I need to choose what color yarn for mine!
