The Design

These slipper socks knit up quick as a wink! Inspired by our Turkish Bed Socks, we aimed for easy, cozy, and comfy. The heel is nice and neat, while a slip-stitch edging around the ankle finesses the finish! In 2 gauges, 3 widths, and easy-to-customize lengths, you can knit pairs for all your friends and family.

We knit a version of the Cozy Slipper Socks in aran-weight Kelbourne Woolens Lucky Tweed and another pair in chunky-weight Rowan Brushed Fleece.

This two-page pattern includes:

• Color photography by Laura Gehring
• A handy little guide on shoe-size conversion
• Instructions for finishing and blocking your piece
