SLIPPERS – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked back and forth with circular needle, top down. The slipper is sewn together to finish.
RIGHT SLIPPER:
LEG:
Cast on 39-41-43 stitches with circular needle size 6 mm = US 10 and Snow. Knit 3 rows. Then work as follows: 3 stitches in GARTER STITCH – read description above, work FISHERMAN`S RIB – read description above, until there are 3 stitches left and finally 3 stitches in garter stitch. Continue with Fisherman`s rib and 3 stitches in garter stitch on each side (= bands) until the piece measures 12 cm = 4 3/4”.
REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
On the next row from the right side bind off the 3 stitches in garter stitch, knit the next 5-4-5 stitches, work Fisherman`s rib over the next 9-11-11 stitches as before and garter stitch over the last 22-23-24 stitches. Continue like this until the piece measures 4 cm = 1 1/2” from where the 3 stitches were bind off – adjust so the last row is from the wrong side. Cut the strand.
UPPER:
Start from the right side (= on the side where the 3 stitches were bind off), place the first 5-4-5 stitches on a strand, keep the next 9-11-11 stitches on the needle and place the last 22-23-24 stitches on a thread. Now work Fisherman`s rib over the 9-11-11 stitches as follows: Start from the right side and cast on 1 new stitch, work Fisherman`s rib over the 9-11-11 stitches as before and cast on 1 new stitch at the end of the row (make a loop which is placed twisted on the needle) = 11-13-13 stitches.
Continue with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side of the 9-11-11 stitches in Fisherman`s rib until the upper measures approx. 7-8½-10 cm = 2 3/4”-3 1/4”-4”. On the next row from the wrong side decrease the edge stitches by working them together with the stitch beside them = 9-11-11 stitches. Place all the stitches on a thread. Cut the strand.
FOOT:
Start from the right side (= on the side where the 3 stitches were bind off), place the first 5-4-5 stitches from the thread back on the needle and knit these stitches, knit up 12-14-16 stitches inside the 1 edge stitch on the upper. Place the 9-11-11 stitches from the upper back on the needle and knit them. Knit up 12-14-16 stitches inside the 1 edge stitch along the other side of the upper. Place the 22-23-24 stitches from the last thread back on the needle and knit them. There are now 60-66-72 stitches on the needle. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE.
Knit 1 row from the wrong side. Insert 1 marker in the 22nd-24th-27th stitch (mid front) and 1 marker in the 52nd-57th-63rd stitch (mid back). Work garter stitch. When the piece measures approx. 2 cm = 3/4” from where the piece was put together, decrease front and back as follows: Knit 2 together on each side of both stitches with markers (= 4 stitches decreased). Continue with garter stitch and at the same time decrease like this every row from the right side until the piece measures approx. 5-5-6 cm = 2”-2”-2 3/8” from where the piece was put together. Bind off with knit from the right side.
ASSEMBLY:
Fold the slipper so the 3 bind-off stitches (band) are over the band on the other side of the slipper. The bind-off edge is together and the long-sides meet. Sew in the outermost loop of the outermost ridge from the bind-off edge and up along the side of the slipper as far as the bands. Cut and fasten the strand. Then sew the bind-off edge together, sewing in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch so the seam is flat. Cut and fasten the strand. Place 3 buttons evenly spaced on the outermost band and sew them on, through both layers.

Start from the right side (= on the opposite side from where the 3 stitches were bind off), place the first 22-23-24 stitches on a strand, keep the next 9-11-11 stitches on the needle and place the last 5-4-5 stitches on a thread. Now work Fisherman`s rib over the 9-11-11 stitches as follows: Start from the right side and cast on 1 new stitch, work Fisherman`s rib over the 9-11-11 stitches as before and cast on 1 new stitch at the end of the row (make a loop which is placed twisted on the needle) = 11-13-13 stitches.

Je ne comprends pas ce que "Continuer ainsi jusqu'à ce que l'ouvrage mesure 4 cm depuis les 3 mailles rabattues – ajuster pour que le dernier rang soit tricoté sur l'envers" veut dire. Est-ce qu'il faut faire des mailles endroits là où il y a les mailles endroits et cotes là où il y a des cotes ?
22.03.2023 - 16:28DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Maria, tricotez jusqu'à ce que l'ouvrage mesure 4 cm, mais vous devez arrêter après un rang sur l'envers, autrement dit, tricotez un rang de plus / de moins (en fonction de votre tension en hauteur), de sorte que votre dernier rang sera tricoté sur l'envers, ainsi, le rang suivant pourra être tricoté sur l'endroit de l'ouvrage. Mais les mailles se tricoteront exactement comme avant. Bon tricot!
23.03.2023 kl. 09:23Hi - Can you please explain the foot section on the right side? I think it didn’t translate well and I’m having trouble understanding everything before ‘THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE’ Thanks!
29.11.2022 - 04:37DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Matuszewski, this video shows how to work a similar slipper (with another number of stitches) - ie how to slip sts aside and how to work the middle stitches for uppper part, then how to pick up sts (just before the section "measure from here"). Hope it can help. Happy kniting!
29.11.2022 kl. 10:21Buongiorno, sto eseguendo questo modello e mi sembra un po' fuorviante la dicitura del posizionamento dei segnaposti alla 22/24/27 e 52/57/63 esimo punto perchè io inizilmente li ho inseriti nel ferro a rovescio del lavoro in quanto era il ferro che si stava lavorando. Però così facendo i punti non corrispondono al centro davanti e dietro. Li ho poi inseriti nel ferro davanti e finalmente mi sono risultati giusti. Grazie Piera
25.10.2022 - 18:07DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Piera, i segnapunti vanno inseriti dopo il ferro a rovescio. Buon lavoro!
25.10.2022 kl. 20:13Semplice e scorrevole come lavoro, si realizza velocemente, tuttavia non riesco ad individurare dove sbaglio visto che quando la confeziono vien fuori un quadrato e nn un ovale.... Ho provato sia con la spiegazione fornita, sia con la chiusura invisibile.... ma il risultato è lo stesso.
26.02.2022 - 23:00I'm stuck on the "knit 16 stitches inside the 1 edge stich'
30.11.2021 - 02:45DROPS Design answered:
Dear Holly, if you mean "Knit up stitches inside the edge stitch" it means you have to pick up the stitches at the ende, in the holes next to the edge stitch. Happy Stitching!
30.11.2021 kl. 03:31I am stuck on the foot instructions. continue...until the piece measures approx. 5-5-6 cm = 2”-2”-2 3/8” from where the piece was put together. To where does this refer?
23.11.2021 - 23:54DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Fleming, this refers to the beg of this section called FOOT, ie from where you placed sts from the thread back on needle, picked up sts and knitted the sts from upper piece. Happy knitting!
24.11.2021 kl. 07:49"14 Maschen innerhalb 1 Rd Masche aus dem Fussrücken auffassen"... leider kann ich damit nichts anfangen bzw. was genau damit gemeint ist...bitte um Hilfe...lieben Dank
28.10.2021 - 21:47DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Jenny, die je 14 Maschen fassen Sie aus den beiden senkrechten Rändern des Fußrückens auf. In den verlinkten Videos unter der Anleitung ("Hier finden Sie 22 passende Videos) finden Sie ein Video "Maschen auffassen - seitlich", dort können Sie sehen, wie man Maschen aus dem senkrechten Rand auffasst. Viel Spaß beim Weiterstricken!
28.10.2021 kl. 22:22I haven't done fisherman's rib before, and I'm a little confused by the repeating of row 2. I'm casting on 39, and 6 of those are the garter stitch band. So I'm doing the fisherman's rib over 33 stitches. Since it's worked flat over an odd # of stitches, then it seems to me when I flip it, if I repeat row 2 then I'm purling into a knit so I won't end up with ribbing. I know I must be missing something, but I can't figure it. Thanks for your help!

Dear Christine, sorry for late answer - this video shows how to work fishmerman's rib back and forth - hope it will help. Happy knitting!
20.05.2021 kl. 08:51Is this a chunky or double knit yarn?
08.02.2021 - 12:01DROPS Design answered:
Dear Debra, this pattern is written so you can knit it from the DROPS yarn-group E, or two thread from the group C held together. You can read/see more about the yarn groups here. Happy Knitting!
08.02.2021 kl. 12:08Is this worked in the round and if not then why the circular needle?
26.11.2020 - 17:02DROPS Design answered:
Dear Heather, no, it's not worked in the round. We use a circular needle due to the high number of stitches of the piece, so that we can work more comfortably. Happy knitting!
