Sunday Morning Slippers Booties Knitting Pattern

Sunday Morning Slippers

What Is Being Made

The Sunday Morning Slippers are soft and chunky slipper booties designed for the entire family. This knitting pattern from Spud & Chloë offers sizing from child's XS through men's XL, making them a versatile project for multiple family members. The slippers feature a flexible cuff design that can be worn either up or down, providing both style and comfort for everyday wear.

Techniques Used

This pattern employs seamless, top-down construction worked in the round, which eliminates the need for seaming and creates a smooth, professional finish. The top-down approach allows knitters to try on the slippers as they progress and easily adjust the fit. The Kitchener Stitch is used to graft edges together, creating an invisible seam for a polished look. This technique is particularly useful for closing the toe or joining sections where a traditional bind-off would be too bulky.

Stitches and Stitch Patterns

The pattern utilizes fundamental knitting stitches including knit and purl stitches as the foundation for the slipper construction. Decreases are incorporated to shape the foot and create proper fit across the range of sizes. The straightforward stitch work makes this project accessible while still producing a professional-quality finished garment.

Materials and Tools

• Yarn: Spud & Chloë Outer, a superwash blend composed of approximately 65% superwash wool and 35% certified organic cotton. Each 100-gram hank yields approximately 60 yards. Yardage requirements vary by size, ranging from 2 hanks for the smallest child sizes up to 6 hanks for men's XL.
• Needles: Size 13 (9mm) double-pointed needles are the primary needles used for the in-the-round construction. A size 11 (8mm) circular needle measuring either 16 inches or 24 inches (depending on the size being made) is also required for certain sections of the pattern.
• Additional Tools: A tapestry needle is essential for the Kitchener Stitch grafting and weaving in ends. Stitch markers help track pattern repeats and maintain consistent tension throughout the project.
