I'm much better at figuring out a pattern in crochet than knit. But if you could post a picture it might just be possible that one of us has a similar pattern.

They sound like they may be one I use that I got from my Mom
years ago.
If it is then the pattern goes-- for a lady size 6-7 shoe---

Cast on 47
row 1----
K - 18
P - 1
K - 9
P - 1
K - 18

row2--
K - all the way across
---
repeat row 1 and 2 for 14 rows
decrease 9 stitches at beginning of row 15 then finish row as before
Next row--- decrease 9 stitches at the beginning of row 16 finish row as before.
now---
K1 -P1 for 15 rows
leave a long yarn take. With yarn needle go through all loops on needle.
Pull up tight to form toe knot sew up front of slipper to top.
Then sew the back up.
I hope them instructions are understandable as I don't have them written down it is just the way I do them.

I use 2 strands of 4 ply yarn and size 9 or 10 needles,
for men's slippers I add 2 stitches at the ends
in other words -- for men's cast on 51
knit 22 -p1- knit 9 - p1- knit 22

It might be the one I'm looking for (the P1 K9 P1 in mid row sounds right for how they look). I've copied your pattern and will try it out as soon as I can, maybe even this weekend when we're driving to MIL's for Christmas.

Thanks,

This is very similar to a pattern I am currently knitting from a learn-to-knit booklet. I bet it is what you are looking for. They knit up pretty fast unless your dog chews up one of your wooden knitting needles...lol
