Mary Jane Slippers

 

When I was seven I relished any chance I could get to wear my black patent leather Mary Jane's. No event was too insignificant! Now I like to shuffle around my apartment in these knit slippers reminiscent of the classic style.  Enjoy! --Whitney

They're super cute. I love the color combo.

They look lovely- can't wait to try them, I have knitted some before from another pattern but these look a much better fit- thanks for sharing!

hi,
the slippers look awesome. i m a left handed knitter ..do i have to reverse the pattern ? and how do i do it?

[Deb J]

Oh my goodness. I love these. Love the color combo too!

I love this pattern! I especially love how easy you've made it for even the newest of knitters to follow. Those giant photos are clearer than I can see my own knitting ... without a magnifier, that is. This pattern is destined to be used by a small local group to knit slippers for a women's shelter, as well as for ourselves, of course. However, after much tinkering (cut, paste, re-position, and finally putting it into Word in a two column, 10 row table) I did get it pared down from the 15 pages my printer wanted to print it on to a mere 10. The photos are still full size; I only had to downsize the font on the text that goes with the first part of the Making of the Sole in order to keep it all on one page. This way, I will save paper, and have fewer pages to lug across town to the meetings. I haven't yet looked at any of your other patterns, but I'm willing to bet they all could be made to eat less paper when printed out. Would it be asking too much of you, with your much higher computer skills, to aim to save paper and your reader's time by making the printable version more compact for us?
Thank you very much.

Would you be interested in making a pair of these for a one year old? How much would you charge? Thanks

do you have an easy adjustment for a larger size - to fit a women's 10-11 & also for girls sizes? i have long feet & these would make fun gifts for my neices!

hi i just wanted to know is this pattern for the mary jane slippers for beginner, intermediate, or advanced knitters. because i am a beginner and i want to knit those slippers. and my second question was how do you adjust this pattern to fit a womans feet a size 4,5, or 6.

Hi Passion,
This pattern would probably qualify as an intermediate pattern because of the shaping, the attached i-cord and also the use of kitchener stitch in finishing. You can adjust the pattern size by adjusting the length of the sole of the slipper, and then pick up less stitches around the sole when you make the foot. If you're a beginner, it may be best for you to knit at least one slipper as written so that you can get the idea of the pattern before you jump in to customizing it.
Hope this helps!

Just wondering if anyone has made these minus the strap??

[Bethany]

To Peggy Pennie: I have knitted these a few times and once I chose to go strapless on these. I just knitted an extra row or two (after picking up stitches). It works just fine without the strap this way. : )
