Sylphide Ballet Slippers

This simple slipper pattern knits up very quickly using just one skein of bulky yarn. Worked from the toe to the heel in one piece, the snug fit and clean lines make a graceful ballet-style slipper, and optional beads add a touch of elegance. The pattern is written for four sizes and is easily adjustable for the perfect fit.

Yarn Bulky weight yarn: 85 (95, 115, 135) yds

Size Medium shown in Sweet Paprika Largo Organic (100% merino wool; 115g/150 yds), 1 skein Hinterlands.

Gauge 17 sts and 24 rnds = 4" in Stockinette stitch, after blocking.

Note: This gauge is deliberately quite tight for a bulky yarn in order to achieve a dense fabric appropriate for slippers.
