Simple House Slippers

Stockinette stitch has long been revered for the smooth, professional finish it creates in your projects while garter stitch is a fan favorite for it’s squishiness. With this slipper design, you get the benefit of both of these stitches without having to knit any purl stitches. The pattern is worked both flat and in the round using only knit stitches.

Simple Garter Stitch Slippers

There is something very enticing about this pair of slippers. Maybe it is the gorgeous color variation in the yarn or maybe it is the contrasting white trim or maybe it is the modern shape of the design. Find out for yourself by whipping up these slippers using fingering weight yarn held doubled. The pattern calls for garter stitch worked flat. The slippers are seamed with single crochet stitches.

One simple color change between the cuff and the foot of these slipper socks make a big impact on the final product. These extra adorable two-tone slipper socks are knit flat in garter and rib stitches. You’ll seam them afterward to create the slipper shapes. They certainly look cozy!

If you have a little extra yarn and time, opting for ankle booties instead of shorter slipper socks can be a very rewarding choice. The pattern for these stylish slippers calls for rib, stockinette and garter stitches along with 2 kinds of cablework. Little textured sections of seed stitch are nestled within the larger interlocking cables.

Time-Off Slipper Socks

The beauty of slipper sock and boots knitting patterns is that the majority call for worsted weight yarn and thicker. This makes them work up much more quickly than knitting socks which commonly call for fingering weight yarn. These Time-Off Slipper Socks are an especially quick and easy project that are made using just garter and rib stitches.

Snow Boots

Lounge around the house in style with these eye-catching knit boots. An attractive central cable motif runs up the front of these slipper socks from toe to cuff. The rest of the design is made using squishy rib stitch to make it easier to get the slipper socks on and off (and to ensure a snug, non-slip fit).

Slipper Socks

You’ll be pleased as punch if you pick this pretty pink slipper sock design. The pattern is worked from the top down in the round. There’s no heel, so the pattern is much simpler than the average sock pattern. Instead, the design has a wider circumference so it can easily stretch to accommodate the heel.

Textured Adult Bootie Slippers

Textured stitches add visual and tactile interest to these tall booties. I know that stitches outside of garter and stockinette may be intimidating to beginner knitters, but these bootie slippers are made using just knit and purl stitches along with knit 2 togethers and picking up stitches.

Slipper Socks

This next design combines the structured look of a shoe with the comfiness of a slipper. The pattern is mainly made up of stockinette stitch but it does use a couple trickier techniques (like kitchener stitch, grafting, and knitting a heel flap, similar to sock knitting) to deliver a really polished project.

Beyond Boots

Slightly fuzzy and extra soft super bulky weight yarn makes this slipper boot design an instant win in my book. The attractive fisherman’s rib cuff on the top of the foot is a nice contrast to the textured garter stitch on the bottom of the foot and I especially adore the trio of wooden buttons running down the side.

Cloudborn Fibers Adult Stripe Boots

Does the silhouette of these slipper boots remind you of a style of shoe that’s really popular in fall? I’ll give you a hint: the brand name starts with a “U” and it rhymes with bug. Skip the sticker shock and make yourself a pair with this stylish striped design. The pattern has you knitting flat in garter stitch and then seaming to form the boot.
