Sunday Morning Slippers in Spud & Chloë Outer – Knitting Pattern 201717 by Bobbi Intveld

The Sunday Morning Slippers are a cozy, chunky slipper bootie pattern designed by Bobbi Intveld as part of the Spud & Chloë Small Fries Collection. Knitted in the brand's signature Spud & Chloë Outer yarn, these slippers are sized to fit the whole family — from a child's XS all the way through to an adult men's XL — making this a truly versatile pattern for knitters who love to craft practical, wearable gifts. The finished slippers feature a fold-down cuff that can be worn either up or down, adding a charming, casual style that suits everyone from toddlers to adults.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a slipper bootie with a structured cuff, a shaped foot, and a closed toe. The design is worked in the round on double pointed needles or a short circular needle, depending on the size being knitted. The cuff detail gives the slipper a bootie-like appearance and adds extra warmth around the ankle. Because the yarn used is superwash treated, the finished slippers are practical for everyday family use and can withstand gentle machine washing.

Sizes Available

The pattern covers a wide range of sizes, making it ideal for knitting matching pairs across an entire household. Sizes run from Child XS through Adult XL, with specific sizing increments noted throughout the pattern instructions. The generous size range is one of the standout features of this design.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Spud & Chloë Outer — a super chunky weight yarn composed of 65% Superwash Wool and 35% Certified Organic Cotton, sold in 100g/60-yard hanks. The number of hanks required varies by size: 2 hanks for the smallest sizes up to 6 hanks for the largest adult sizes.
• Needles: Size 13 (9mm) double pointed needles for the main construction, plus Size 11 (8mm) double pointed needles for smaller sizes. A Size 11 (8mm) circular needle (measuring 6" for sizes 0–8 and 24" for sizes 9–12) is also used, or a size needed to obtain gauge.
• Notions: A stitch marker, a tapestry needle for finishing and seaming.

Techniques Used

This pattern is rated as intermediate in difficulty, making it a satisfying project for knitters who are comfortable working in the round and shaping fabric through decreases. Key techniques include:

• Knitting in the round on double pointed needles, which is the primary construction method for creating the seamless tubular cuff and foot of the slipper.
• Decreasing to shape the toe and foot of the slipper, creating a neat and fitted finish.
• Kitchener Stitch — a grafting technique used to join the toe stitches invisibly. This method holds the edges to be joined parallel with wrong sides together, using a tapestry needle threaded with yarn to work through stitches in a specific sequence (knitwise and purlwise alternately on front and back needles) until all stitches are seamlessly joined. The tension of the grafted stitches should be adjusted to match the surrounding fabric as you work.
• Casting on and binding off as standard construction steps throughout the pattern.

Stitches Used

• Knit stitch — the primary stitch used throughout the body of the slipper.
• Purl stitch — used in combination with knit stitches, particularly in the cuff section.
• Decrease stitches (including skp — slip, knit, pass slipped stitch over) for toe shaping.
• Kitchener Stitch for the grafted toe closure.
