Slippers ELF ON THE SHELF | Free knitting pattern
We are pleased to offer you this new and free slippers pattern designed by Louise-Hélène.
"Inspired by a design written by Micheline Goulet, I designed those slippers for my husband: my sweetheart wanted slippers that are warm, fit well and look pretty! Then I had fun playing with various colours and stitch patterns so now everyone at home have a pair. So, have fun! All the possibilities are good!" - Louise-Hélène
IN ADDITION TO THE FREE KNITTING PATTERN, YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS TO KNIT THESE SLIPPERS:
- Estelle Chunky (or Bulky weight yarn) : 2 skeins (50% acrylic, 40% wool, 10% nylon - 125 m per 100 g skein).
You can use 1 or 2 colors as you wish ! The darker color could be used for the sole so your Elf won’t go to messy !

Gray (Q63391).
- Circular needles of 5.5 mm and 6.5 mm. The 6.5 mm will be necessary if you choose to knit the cuff in stranded colorwork.
- Tapestry needle
- Stitch holder or waste yarn of contrasting color.
GAUGE: 15.5 sts = 10 cm in garter st on 5.5 mm needles.

This is the best pattern! Very clever construction. I have made 3 pair so far and there will be many more!
Easy to read and understand pattern. Well done and fun to make
Love this pattern. Toe up with a twist!!
I would suggest it for intermediate level knitters. Too complicated for beginners.
Its very beautiful and easy to make it
After downloading the pattern haven’t had a chance to knit the slippers, however, I read through the pattern and it is easy to read. I haven’t learned how to knit a wrap and turn heel so this pattern will be fun to knit.
