Malabrigo yarn is so soft… wearing these loafers is like walking in a cloud.

Skills Needed: Cast on, bind off, knit, purl, pick up stitches, circular knitting with two needles, and short row shaping.  Single crochet (optional).

Note: this is not a beginner project, see skills needed for more information.

Sizes: 
    * Small: Women’s size 6-8
    * Medium: Women’s size 8-10
    * Large: Men’s size 10-12

The pattern is the same for each of the sizes. The needle size determines the size of the slipper. The loafers will stretch with wearing, so if in doubt, knit a size smaller.
