Get ready to kick back in handmade comfort with cozy and easy slipper knitting patterns. Whether you’re a newbie in the knitting realm or a seasoned pro looking for a relaxing project, you’re in the right place. Our curated selection of patterns make knitting slippers a breeze, so you can get ready to relax even before your new pair of slippers are ready to wear!

So, what makes a slipper pattern “easy” for a beginner knitter? Think basic stitches, folks. We’re talking your trusty knit and purl stitches, maybe some simple increases or decreases here and there. Another key factor? Yarn weight. We’ve included many easy chunky slippers that call for thicker yarn with a larger needle size, because it makes it easier to see your stitches. Not only do these knit slipper patterns work up faster with bulky or super bulky yarn (hello, instant gratification!), but they also make for cushy, warm slippers that are oh-so-comfortable to lounge around in.

Oh, and let’s not forget the power of visual aids. Video tutorials are a great way to boost your confidence as you tackle a new project like these simple slippers. Look for those easy beginner slippers that come with handy video guides with great tips to walk you through each step with ease. We’ve included a few in this very round-up!

Now, onto some pro tips for success with our easy slipper knitting patterns! First thing, yarn selection. Opt for washable yarns, because let’s face it, slippers are bound to get a little dirty from all that lounging around. Plus, easy-care yarns mean less stress about accidental spills or stains. Next, gauge swatches are your BFFs. Seriously, don’t skip this step! Taking the time to knit up a gauge swatch ensures that your slippers will fit just right. No one likes a slipper that’s too snug or too loose, right?

And finally, let’s talk about slipper safety. Nobody wants to go sliding around the house like a cartoon character on a slippery floor. A quick fix? Add some non-skid grips to the bottom of your slipper. Puffy paint, hot glue dots, or even some strategically placed yarn stitches can do the trick.

Are you feeling more confident about knitting a pair of slippers for the first time? Then it’s the perfect time to check out the fantastic easy slipper knitting patterns we have in store for you today. Scroll down and prepare to be inspired!

Flat Knit Slipper Socks

Knitting in the round can be more challenging than knitting flat, so take it easy with these easy garter stitch slippers that will have you working back and forth. The pattern calls for knit and purl stitches along with selvedge stitches. You can make it even easier by sticking to a single color. Scroll down to watch the video tutorial at the bottom of the page if you get stuck.

Winter Slipper Socks

These simple house slippers are another pattern that’s knit flat and this one is even easier. You don’t even need to do any purl stitches for this pattern as it’s all knit and slip stitches. The pattern also includes a helpful video tutorial if you find yourself in need of an extra visual aid. If you do decide to knit with two colors for this design, coordinating your accent color with the pom pom is a nice touch.

Toasty Toes Garter Slippers

We’re on a roll here so let’s explore one more simple garter stitch slipper pattern that’s worked flat. It feels a little bit like magic to be able to knit a 2-dimensional shape in garter stitch and then seam it up to become slippers, doesn’t it? This design includes some simple shaping for an even better fit. An impressively sized pair of pom poms finishes off the pattern with panache.

Eclectic House Slippers

I’m a total sucker for designs that include extra bells and whistles like pom poms and bows. Just because slippers are a very practical thing to make doesn’t mean that you can’t also make them pretty! For this bow-tiful design, you’ll whip up two small garter stitch rectangles for the bows and two larger garter stitch rectangles for the slippers themselves.

Straight Needle Slippers

I love it when designs have pictures like this. Here you can see the slippers before and after seaming. The pattern uses a combination of knit, purl, and knit 2 together stitches to make the folded rib stitch cuffs and textured garter stitch soles and sides. You probably already have the worsted weight yarn that you need in your stash.

Origami Slippers

Let’s get a little eclectic with the next one of our easy slipper knitting patterns. These slippers might be a little too loud for some folks but I’m obsessed with their multicolor patchwork style. The pattern has you make garter stitch squares worked separately and then seam them all together. If that sounds super easy, that’s because it is!

Snow Sledders

There’s so much to love about this next slipper design. I love the garter stitch edging around the cuffs that naturally rolls. Smooth stockinette stitch makes up the rest of the slipper, which is then felted for even more smoothness. This is a polished pattern that produces such a pretty finish (and it’s perfect for gifting!).

Pixie Prancers

Crazy color sock yarn makes up the basis of these magical slippers. You’ll be working with two strands of yarn at once so you get even more of those chaotic color changes that come from self-striping yarn (Although you can likely substitute a sport or DK weight instead of doubling, if you’d prefer). The easy peasy pattern is worked flat in garter and rib stitches.

Ballerina Felted

Timeless ballerina style slippers are sure to make you feel put together. These smart looking slippers are almost nice enough to wear out on the town. The pattern is worked in textured garter stitch worked flat. Felting the slippers after you knit them smooths out the stitchwork for a sleek finish (and handily disguises any twisted stitches or tension issues).

Level 3 Slippers

Squishy super bulky weight yarn makes these slippers a dream to wear. The pattern calls for stockinette and seed stitches worked in rows and then seamed. It’s an interesting construction that results in a seam running along the top of the foot. Wooden buttons add a stylish accent to the sides of the slippers that goes nicely with the flecks of brown in the tweed yarn.
