While working away on my new knitting designs (coming soon!), I somehow found myself knitting… yet another pair of cosy slippers!
Did I already mention that after years of not knitting socks, I’m now completely addicted? Probably I did… 😉
Anyway, I’m really happy to introduce my newest design to you today - the Gentle Steps Slippers!
My idea was to create super simple, almost invisible slippers with a clean, minimalist look. After some thinking and swatching, I realized that good old stockinette stitch was the best choice — even if it’s not something I usually go for!
Even the edge band is done in stockinette. And I actually included two versions of the edge band in the pattern - more on that below.
To make my pair special, I added a few little embroidered hearts - just a sweet detail. There's a photo tutorial in the pattern and a video tutorial on my YouTube channel if you’d like to add them too, but of course, feel free to skip them! The slippers also look great plain, especially if you use multicoloured or speckled yarn.

About the pattern:
- Beginner-friendly.
- Written for both children and adults.
- Knit toe-up, with a shaped sole, short-row heel, and finished with an edge band.
- Uses 4-ply sock yarn
Edge band options:
- Simple stockinette edge — clean, minimal, and perfect for quiet days at home
- Double-layered edge band — designed with busy kids (or active adults!) in mind. It offers a snugger fit and you can even add a thin elastic cord inside if needed!
Knitting pattern for Gentle Steps Slippers is available from Ravelry and Lovecrafts.
