==== Attempt 2 ==== The above, but with doubled-up yarn and 4.5mm needles. This was better; they were stiffer and actually stood up on their own. They ended up too small for me, though, so I abandoned this pattern because [[Sarah]] had pointed out... ==== Attempt 3 ==== Mountain Form slippers, 4.5mm needles, 6-ply Italian cotton. I initially tried them as-written but hated the heel bump and the asymmetry of the KTBL (knit through back of loop) line. I started again using [http://www.ravelry.com/projects/patternwhisperer/mountain-form-slippers-3 patternwhisperer's heel mod] and [http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring06/FEATmagiccaston.html Judy's magic cast-on], and eliminating the KTBL. I also did a hard-to-explain thing at the start of the rib section, pulling up the stitch from the row below and purling it with the current stitch, to eliminate a hole at the right of the joined part. [http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer04/FEATtheresasum04.html Grafting] Size K (fits Kake): Work almost as written but make some sections shorter and also stop decreasing when 18 stitches remain. Size M: Work as written (with amendments noted above). |

I need washable cotton slippers in various sizes (for houseguests).
Attempt 1
Knitted moccasin slippers using my Italian 6-ply cotton and 5mm needles. These are OK, I guess, but a bit shapeless. They might be better with stretchier yarn such as wool, but I need to be able to wash these at a high temperature, so I'm basically stuck with cotton, which is fairly inflexible.
