A TON of you have been asking me so many questions on how to make these cable slippers because the pattern is very hard to understand and makes it extremely challenging to follow along smoothly while knitting. I don't know about you, but when I knit, I want it to be a relaxing experience. I would compare it to as if I were doing yoga. I don't want to have a hernia because I am trying to understand what the heck the pattern is trying to say!!! SO, alas, I have rewritten the pattern for DROPS. You are welcome DROPS Design! haha okay anyway, Here it is. Click here to follow along with me: HOW TO KNIT CABLE SLIPPERS


Video Tutorial CÓMO HACER PUNTO ZAPATILLAS DE CABLE EN ESPAÑOL

LEG:

CO 36(38, 40) sts

Work in GARTER ST in the round:

Round 1: Knit

Round 2: Purl

Repeat until piece measures approx. 1½''(4cm), ending with a Purl round. (4 ridges)

FOOT:

Keep the first 9(11, 11) sts on your needle(DO NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THEM, JUST LEAVE THEM THERE!), slip the remaining 27(27, 29) sts on a stitch holder.

Row 1: CO 1, Knit all stitches, CO 1 and knit it, turn your work over - 11(13, 13) sts.

Row 2: Knit

Continue in garter st back and forth for 2 ¾”(3 ¼”, 4'') 7cm(8.5cm, 10 cm) (I did mine for 14 ridges)

BO the sts you CO on each side - 9(11, 11) sts.

Pick up 12(14, 16) sts on first side.

Slip the sts from stitch holder back on needle

Pick up 12(14, 16) sts on the other side of middle part – 60(66, 72) sts on needle.

Put 1 marker mid front of toe and 1 marker mid back on heel.
*Slip the first 11 stitches that are on your left needle onto your right needle so you are back to your working yarn.* place a stitch marker where the beginning of your round is. (On your right needle before your first stitch on your left needle)

Continue in the round in garter stitch

Round 1: Purl

Round 2: Knit

After knitting for 3/4''(2cm), K2tog on each side of every marker on every other round(or every knit round) - 4 sts decrease per round.

Continue dec until piece measures 2"(2", 2½") 5cm(5cm, 6cm)
(I had 7 ridges all together. I ended with a knit(decrease) row and did a knit BO.

Bind Off.

Sew tog seam in outermost st to avoid a chunky seam.

LOOSE LEG WORKED ACROSS:

CO 22.

Row 1: Knit all stitches

Row 2: K1. M1. (K4. M1) 5 times total. K1

Work according to A.1 until piece measures approx. 12½"(13", 13 3/4") 32cm(33cm, 35cm)

On last row dec 3 sts over every cable in A.1 - 22 sts.

Knit the next 2 rows. Then BO.

Place cast-on edge over bind-off edge and sew on 3 buttons for decoration through the leg. Pull leg 3/4''(2cm) down on foot with buttons on the outside of slipper and sew leg to cast-on edge on slipper from WS with invisible stitches.

Knit another slipper the same way, make sure that the leg opening is on the opposite side.

ALSO! I have told you guys that I am NOT an expert on knitting, I just love to do it, and I also love to teach and edit videos, so I do make mistakes! Yes, it is hard to believe that I am not perfect. #SARCASM. This was my first pattern that has a chart to follow. I thought, why read a chart? It is very confusing and I am not used to reading one so I'm just going to write it out. I rewrote it on this blog post and I showed you how to do it in my video tutorial. Now that I am more experienced and have made other patterns with charts, I have realized that I made the loose leg the wrong way. You are supposed to read charts starting from the bottom right hand corner, going to the left. I started at the top left hand corner, going to the right. Wouldn't that be easy since that's how we read, right?! I am sorry for that mistake, but guess what? My slippers look perfect! It ends up being the same thing! So you can still follow along with me on how I did it in my video, or you can do it the right way. 

Here is the video if you want to follow along with me!

A few weeks ago, I posted on my facebook wall different options on which socks you all wanted me to make a video tutorial of. There was an OBVIOUS winner! The majority chose these cute little red riding hood slippers! I'm not surprised, because they're cute, and a mix of a sock and a bootie. How much better can it get?! It's the adult version of this baby bootie! I haven't finished it because I need to go buy some more yarn, but a lot of you are anxiously waiting for the video so my pics will come later! This pattern was pretty vague in some parts so I feel this video is mandatory! There's a part where all it has is a diagram to follow. I don't know about you, but I like to follow written directions instead. So, I wrote it out for you below. I hope DROPS design likes it. Let them know that I made this video and how much it helped you! Love you guys! and Happy Knitting! Oh and PLEASE! PLEASE!!! PLEASE post a pic on my facebook wall of the projects you make! I loooove to see how yours turned out and it makes me want to keep making more and more tutorials :)

I hope all of you had a very Happy Hoppy Easter! Are you ready to make some cute booties?! The Girl UGGs and Boy UGGs are worked the same way, except the Girl UGGs has a top ribbing, and the Boy UGGs has the trim.

I tried a few ways to make the trim. Threading long ways and duplicate stitch did not look good at all! Don't waste your time!  Then I got on Ravelry, and looked through how other people made the best looking trim, and this is how you make it. I used a crochet hook size K, chained for around 10 inches, then sewed it on the boot! This is also a lot easier than the other ways I tried before.
