That sounds like the same one another forum member was looking for a while back. Here's the pattern:

CO 29 stitches.

Row 1 (WS): K9, P1, K9, P1, K9

Row 2 (RS): Knit across

Repeat these two rows for 4-5" (half or a little less than half the finished foot length), ending with a WS row. Count the number of ridges and make a note of it for your second slipper.

Ribbing Row 1: K1, P1 across row, ending with K1.

Ribbing Row 2: P1, K1 across row, ending with K1.

Repeat these 2 rows for about 4-5" (until slipper is 1" less than length of foot), ending with row 2. Make a note of how many rows for your second slipper.

Next 2 rows: K2 together across row, K last stitch.
Cut yarn, leaving a tail, and draw it through all the remaining sts. Gather and stitch top of slipper together to the end of ribbing. Sew back seam.

Make a second one to match.

To make the same slipper with a small cuff:

CO 39 stitches.

Row 1 (WS): K14, P1, K9, P1, K14

Row 2 (RS): K4, P1, K29, P1, K4

Repeat these two rows for 4-5" (half or a little less than half the finished foot length), ending with a WS row. Count the number of ridges and make a note of it for your second slipper.

Ribbing Row 1: BO 5 sts, K1, P1 across 30 sts, K5.

Ribbing Row 2: BO 5 sts, P1, K1 across row, ending with K1.

Ribbing Row 3: K1, P1 across row, ending with K1.

Ribbing Row 4: P1, K1 across row, ending with K1.

Repeat rows 3 and 4 for about 4-5" (until slipper is 1" less than length of foot), ending with row 2. Make a note of how many rows for your second slipper.

Next 2 rows: K2 together across row, K last stitch.
Cut yarn, leaving a tail, and draw it through all the remaining sts. Gather and stitch top of slipper together to the end of ribbing. Sew back seam.

Make a second one to match.

Thanks so much Donna. Hopefully I can get a pair knit for my friend before I move.

I casted on both slippers on one needle. It's a PITA to keep track of but the slippers should match. I am using the thread ends from the outside and inside of the skein. it might be a tad easier to use two skeins but I didn't have two, only one big one.

Jomo, you could have wound the skein into two balls to make it easier.

I'm glad to see you back at the forums, You have been missed over at the KT! Take lots of breaks from packing, and don't get too tired. And make sure the computer is one of the last things packed and unpacked so you can check in with us!

What weight of yarn would the slipper pattern take, that doonna loomis provided?
I passed on the pattern to a friend of mine, more as a joke than anything else - because she doesn't have time right now (with her Christmas knitting, rennovations to where she has recently moved, visitors, fundraising for a charity, etc. etc.).
And she called my bluff by wanting to know the yarn type and gauge.

Thanks.

I usually use worsted weight. It's been a while since I made them, but I think that a 4 ounce skein is just right for even the larger slippers.

Cat Bordhi has some great slippers knitted on two circular needles in feltable real wool. I have made several pairs and they are lovely and warm. I use doubled up aran equivalent of my handspun yarn on 6mm circular needles. One day I will get round to sewing on suede soles from the jacket I bought for 10pence at a charity stall at a country fair.
Tip: only buy Addi Turbo needles. They are the best. And only METAL thin ones as the bamboo ones break easily. Thicker sizes are great in bamboo.

Thank you for the yarn weight, Donna.

Hi all. It's been awhile since I checked in. I'm going to try this pattern that Donna listed. Problem that I need an answer to is: "what size needle" using wool ease?
Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone!

The "regular" Wool Ease is a worsted weight. For an adult slipper, I use size 8 needles.

Thanks Donna. I'm going to give it a try. First time for slippers but I have leftover yarn from an afghan and slippers will use it up.
