Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've been looking to donate knitted things and wanted to make more than just hats. My local women's shelter is going to get a whole bunch of comfy slippers as well now. I hope your gran would approve ❤
Thank you, Shelly for telling how to measure for your foot size. And also, the tip on using the waste yarn on the end of the project vs. the beginning. These are things so many probably just think everyone knows, but they don't. Your videos are so helpful. I appreciate you!!
I remember patients wearing these in the hospital wing of a aged care home, whenever another pair turned up, they would get such a smile, the comfort these provide for cold feet and the knowledge that these older ladies had appreciating the effort someone went to just for them.
I love that story! I also worked with seniors and they are the best! I was a health care aide. Slippers like this bring back memories for them.

My friend bought a Sentro as well and her counter broke the first time using it. Where my Addi just keeps on counting. I learned to crochet when I was very small. My babysitter believed you did not put a child in front of a TV but taught them something useful. So she taught me to crochet and I remember her making slippers when I was small.
I loved my grandma so much...poor granny suffered a stroke when I was like 7 or 8 years old and her whole right side was paralyzed...but with all her struggles she was the one constant in my life!! Grandma passes 37 years ago this month..miss her so much!! I am making these slippers in her honor as well...love them!! Thank you Shelley!
It is nice you had a grandma that care for other. My grandma was the meanest person i ever knew. But she did knit and crochet. But she would be that person that would take a blanket from the homeless.
I am sorry you have such hurtful memories of her. Sometimes the past teaches us what not to do with the generations under us. I’m sure you are making a very positive change. 😍
My grandmother was born in 1900 and lived with Parkinson’s for 40 years. She was wheel-chaired bound most of my life but I always remember her wearing a pair. I searched the internet looking for a pattern for them. I have the Addi 46 and would love to make these for the grandkids during our cold winters here in NH. Thank you for a great video

I had a grandmother who gardened and tended cattle :) but, I did have an Aunt Nell who managed the yarn and knitting dept of a large upscale department store.

Very nice, easy-to-follow tutorial. I enjoyed your pleasing manner and clear voice too. I have made grandma slippers with straight needles many times, and have also crocheted them. Now I am going to attempt making them on the knitting machine! I have 4 different size machines. Congratulations on 3,801 subscribers (12/11/22).! I am happy to be one of them! With love from BanDana Gramma ♥
I knitted those slippers in 7th grade. Shop double period class. Many many years ago. We used Aunt Lydia’s Heavy Rug Yarn. Others have said the counters break quickly on those Serto machines.
Thanks for sharing amazing project; I thought of making only beanies and scarves; now I can see it’s so versatile. I’ll make a pair for my mom 😊 Not sure if you hv resolve the counter issue but when you dismantle your machine for cleaning- maybe can try reset the counter. ❤❤❤

I bought a sentro after watching this video :). The counter didn't work right out of the box but I have a finger counter thing for counting crochet rows and just used it and it works great. My grandmother used to make so many slippers. She made a slipper cover for the slider on my curling shoes and I actually just bought my first gripper ~4 years ago after my slipper wore out...
Oooh something different than a beanie or headband (headbands being my latest addiction) …. I’m going to try these adorable slippers. I do like the heel idea. Thank you for sharing your work. I’m a subscriber and enjoy your videos. ❤
Update: I have made one slipper and the other just needs stitching up. So quick and easy! As for Facebook I don’t do Facebook but I’m sure there are plenty of people who do.

My grandma made me a pair of yellow and white slippers like these. I remember being about 7 and getting bit by mosquitoes and scratched until it got infected and started getting blood poisoning of course my mom took me to the doctor but all I could wear on that foot b/c I couldn't wear a shoe on that foot was the slipper my grandma made me. I wore the slipper to the doctor, I loved those slippers I wore them out till they fell apart.
Love this, thank you! Can you please show every step for those of us who are visual learners (and those of us who aren't well versed in sewing)? I'm not sure, for example, how to reinforce the toe. But again, thank you. This video made so much sense and you explained things well.
I try to be very detailed. So sorry if I missed a step. 😊 To reinforce the toe just means that when you are tightening the circle to close it, just go around the circle another time for strength. Hope that makes sense. If you haven’t already done so, I would like to invite you to join my newly formed FB Group.

The stitch markers are a great idea ,so your not searching for those stitches at the end. Thank you for making these. I am going to get started on a few pairs for Christmas gifts !
As I was watching your video… I search for my slippers my grandma made some 15 years ago… 😊 it’s the same with some additions… she liked to sew a piece of nonsplip fabric under and to add two hidden elastics tread at the opening… love your video! I just start to use a sentro… and I find it really helpful since my grandma can’t show me the traditional way herself… looking forward to your next video…thank you!

I love the simplicity of this pattern! As my foot is 9”, I did 45 rows, but my slipper was way too short. 😕 I used 100% wool yarn. Maybe it’s not as elastic as acrylic? I tried again with acrylic yarn and did 50 rows, and the length came out perfect for me. I think I’d like it to come up a bit higher on the back of the heel, so I’ll try not doing the little tuck at the back of the heel next time and see if it helps. My mattress stitch looked awful on my first slipper, but looked perfect on my next one. I’m now no longer afraid of that technique, so yay! Thanks for a great tutorial!
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Thank you! One of the things I love most about knitting machines is that so little time is invested in the knitting part of a project that I don’t get discouraged when a project doesn’t work the first time. 😁

I got a Sentro last year, brand new. and after the first few projects the counter also broke, I did a few more projects using stitch markers so i could keep track, but I eventually got tired of it, so I opened up the machine and stitch counter, took a look at it, the gear were the counter meets the machine was mis-aligned, I fixed it. put it back together, and my counter has been working PERFECTLY ever since, and the machine is running even smoother than when it came out of the box.

Just made a pair to wear for Christmas! I do suggest that if you've got wide feet (like me) to make them bigger. I made my first pair 45 rows but they ended up being a bit small (no worries, my son needed new slippers anyways!).
Another great video! They are super cute and I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. My grandmother was a prolific crocheter.She didn't make slippers, but I remember one time she gave my mom one of those dolls with a huge crocheted rufflely skirt to cover toilet paper rolls!😹 It literally covered the entire tank top. I must say though, she did a beautiful job of crocheting and it was very sweet of her.
I'm not a grandma, but when I was a young girl one Christmas I made these slippers on straight needles for everyone in my family as Christmas presents. I think it was 1968? this year everyone will have a pair in their christmas stocking! And of course they had pompoms!
I just got this knitting machine to make things for my kids and family. Your video is so thoughtful and informative. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this. :)
Glad you shared this I am new to the knitting machine but have made this type of slippers by crocheting and was just wondering if I could do it on the machine and now I can
Excellent. I had these slippers growing up. Mom made them. As an adult, I asked her to make me a pair but she couldn’t remember the pattern.her name was Mary too

The counters are temperamental. You can unscrew the box and line up the gear again - it should be fine. Or count as you stitch and place a small scrap of yarn every 10 or 20 rows to keep track. I love my Sentro.
It was my Aunt. She made me and my brother a pair every Christmas. We loved them! She’s been gone many years now. I am going to make them and remember her every time I wear them.
That’s wonderful! I think that knitted slippers were a thing in the last generation and not so much now. We gotta bring them back.

My sentro counter only works on occasion. I just use a free knitting row counter on my phone. I know I have to stop a click a button but it works for me. I typically knit 5 or 10 rows and then stop and add them to my row counter
Yes, we do whatever works. It takes a bit of time to stop but it’s worth not losing count. My kids asked me for some christmas ideas. I suggested two counters. One for each Sentro! 🥰
I only have an Addi 22 and a Sentro 40. I also have a very thin foot so I'm wondering if I can get by with making these with my Sentro. Hmmmmmm..... I will let you know.😁
Congratulations on making 1000 subscribers. Now you have many more When you attach the pomp Pom do you use that little clear plastic gadget that you use on your hats?
Yes, that’s what I would likely do or you could also HDC your rows. One row of DC then another row in between stitches is also nice. All SC ……. Anything really.
Hi I love these slippers you’ve made to replicate your grandmas original hand knitted ones. I’m getting inspired to open that sentro box of mine. Still need to look at some more videos to feel totally comfortable with it though. I hope mine doesn’t break that easy. How do you feel about the sentro versus the addi? I’m sure the addi is quite stronger built considering the costs. I figured since I’m new to these machines though that I would try the cheaper version first. Ty for your tips and version of making the slippers. Happy new year🎉
Welcome to the circular knitting world. I hope you love it. I have both Addi and Sentro machines and I will say that the Addi is more sturdy and a better structure over all but I love my Sentro’s as well. They have a smoother and quieter mechanic. The counters are terrible and almost always miscount. But I just count and mark every 10 rows or use a finger counter. Don’t give up if you are dropping or tucking stitches right away. It takes time to get the feel and technique. You made a good purchase. Here’s a link to my new FB group. I’d love to have you join if you haven’t done so already. 🥰 facebook.com/groups/899664008062522/?ref=share_group_link&exp=9594
Great stocking stuffer idea for sure! I used a ball that was left over and had no wrapper….Lol…. But I’m pretty sure it is Craftsmart Yarn in plum. It’s a 4 weight yarn so choose whatever you like.
How do you know how big to leave the opening for the foot to go in. Got most of one finished just have to sew them up . I used the Premier puzzle yarn so they are nice and thick. Thanks for your instructions . I’ve enjoyed all your videos.
Thank you for watching 😊! Sew up the toe end first then sew up the seam for a bit and put your foot into it. Take a stitch marker and mark one side in the place that feels comfortable - (maybe 1/4”) away from where it hits the base of your leg. Sew up to that point. Hope that makes sense. 🥰
i have spent so much money trying many different types of yarn but no success with any of them. the only yarn that worked well is the yarn that came with the machine. i’ve watched many videos on the sentro and have tried everything. my machine drops at least ten stitches every row. pulling what hair i have, out.
It can be tough to figure out tension and speed. Sometimes you gotta watch as every stitch passes the yard feeder and make sure the loop goes down over the two teeth before it works the stitch. It can be frustrating.

Yes, My Granny made slippers for all the grandchildren and I do the same. Thank you for the nice tutorial. The yarn looks like a 4? Am I right? or is it a 5? ty Onna
I would say they are slipperier than a leather or fabric slipper for sure but I haven’t had any concern to be honest. Same as just socks would be.

I would think so. I haven’t made kids slippers on the machine yet but I would think you would need the 32 or 40 needle machine. Try a flat panel over 40 needles and seam it into a tube and go from there.
My grandmother 36 grandchildren and every year she made each and everyone of us a pair of slippers. I miss my grandma.

Now I am going to attempt making them on the knitting machine! I have 4 different size machines. Congratulations on 3,801 subscribers (12/11/22).! I am happy to be one of them! With love from BanDana Gramma ♥
Awe, thank you so much! I can’t believe how fast my subscriber number is going up. You guys are amazing!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I knitted those slippers in 7th grade. Shop double period class. Many many years ago. We used Aunt Lydia’s Heavy Rug Yarn.
Others have said the counters break quickly on those Serto machines.
The counters are terrible on the Sentros.
Thanks for sharing amazing project; I thought of making only beanies and scarves; now I can see it’s so versatile. I’ll make a pair for my mom 😊
Not sure if you hv resolve the counter issue but when you dismantle your machine for cleaning- maybe can try reset the counter. ❤❤❤
I just recently bought counters and I love them already! 😍
Very good 😊
My sweet grandmother made these slippers for me and my sister when we were kids!❤ I’m going to make a pair on my knitting machine!
❤️
My grandma used to crochet these for us..I love this tutorial and will be making some..when I do I will mention your channel..thanks!!
Didn’t we have the best grandmas?

I bought a sentro after watching this video :). The counter didn't work right out of the box but I have a finger counter thing for counting crochet rows and just used it and it works great.
My grandmother used to make so many slippers. She made a slipper cover for the slider on my curling shoes and I actually just bought my first gripper ~4 years ago after my slipper wore out...
Slipper sliders are awesome!!
Great story!
😊
My grandma used to make these slippers too. We had so many of them when we were kids. Thanks for your tutorial ...I'm going to make some of these!
Oooh something different than a beanie or headband (headbands being my latest addiction) …. I’m going to try these adorable slippers. I do like the heel idea. Thank you for sharing your work. I’m a subscriber and enjoy your videos. ❤
Thank you Winnie! 🥰
If your not a part of my FB group, consider it. I’d love to see your work.
Update: I have made one slipper and the other just needs stitching up. So quick and easy! As for Facebook I don’t do Facebook but I’m sure there are plenty of people who do.
My grandma made the same ones but she crocheted them. Thank you for reminding me of my sweet Grandma!
Grandmas are the best! I hope you make a pair.

My grandma made me a pair of yellow and white slippers like these. I remember being about 7 and getting bit by mosquitoes and scratched until it got infected and started getting blood poisoning of course my mom took me to the doctor but all I could wear on that foot b/c I couldn't wear a shoe on that foot was the slipper my grandma made me. I wore the slipper to the doctor, I loved those slippers I wore them out till they fell apart.
Awe! 🥰
Love this, thank you! Can you please show every step for those of us who are visual learners (and those of us who aren't well versed in sewing)? I'm not sure, for example, how to reinforce the toe. But again, thank you. This video made so much sense and you explained things well.
I try to be very detailed. So sorry if I missed a step. 😊
To reinforce the toe just means that when you are tightening the circle to close it, just go around the circle another time for strength. Hope that makes sense.

Thank you for your kind words Belle! Your very welcome!
Yay thank you for a sentro 48. I'm new and can't wait to do my first pair. Thank yiu so so much.
I made them myself years ago now I use the knitting machine
The stitch markers are a great idea ,so your not searching for those stitches at the end. Thank you for making these. I am going to get started on a few pairs for Christmas gifts !
Thank you! I made a set for me and a set for my 9 year old
Wonderful! 🥰
The first thing I knitted by hand were slippers very similar to these.
Classic pattern 🥰
Too cute
As I was watching your video… I search for my slippers my grandma made some 15 years ago… 😊 it’s the same with some additions… she liked to sew a piece of nonsplip fabric under and to add two hidden elastics tread at the opening… love your video! I just start to use a sentro… and I find it really helpful since my grandma can’t show me the traditional way herself… looking forward to your next video…thank you!
I love that this video is reminding us all of our grandma’s. So special!

I love the simplicity of this pattern!
As my foot is 9”, I did 45 rows, but my slipper was way too short. 😕
I used 100% wool yarn. Maybe it’s not as elastic as acrylic?
I tried again with acrylic yarn and did 50 rows, and the length came out perfect for me.
I think I’d like it to come up a bit higher on the back of the heel, so I’ll try not doing the little tuck at the back of the heel next time and see if it helps.
My mattress stitch looked awful on my first slipper, but looked perfect on my next one. I’m now no longer afraid of that technique, so yay!
Thanks for a great tutorial!
Great job on persevering! So glad you were able to make it work for your foot.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Thank you! One of the things I love most about knitting machines is that so little time is invested in the knitting part of a project that I don’t get discouraged when a project doesn’t work the first time. 😁
I had some from my nana 👵🏼 she died a week after I turned 7 and she would have loved that I got into yarn crafts. She made slippers and blankets ^.^
Sorry you lost her at such a young age. Very neat that even at that age you have a slipper memory. 🥰

I got a Sentro last year, brand new. and after the first few projects the counter also broke, I did a few more projects using stitch markers so i could keep track, but I eventually got tired of it, so I opened up the machine and stitch counter, took a look at it, the gear were the counter meets the machine was mis-aligned, I fixed it. put it back together, and my counter has been working PERFECTLY ever since, and the machine is running even smoother than when it came out of the box.
What ?? Seriously? You are a genius!! I am going to try that. 🥰

@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet aw thank you so much, I sent in a request.
I love these too! Another great video. I see we are the same age 😊 I can't wait to take out my machine again and try this.
Then you must remember these slippers as a little girl as well. 🥰
Just made a pair to wear for Christmas! I do suggest that if you've got wide feet (like me) to make them bigger. I made my first pair 45 rows but they ended up being a bit small (no worries, my son needed new slippers anyways!).
Another great video! They are super cute and I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. My grandmother was a prolific crocheter.She didn't make slippers, but I remember one time she gave my mom one of those dolls with a huge crocheted rufflely skirt to cover toilet paper rolls!😹 It literally covered the entire tank top. I must say though, she did a beautiful job of crocheting and it was very sweet of her.
That was for sure our generation. My mom had one of those toilet paper dolls and so did everyone of her friends. Lol
I'm not a grandma, but when I was a young girl one Christmas I made these slippers on straight needles for everyone in my family as Christmas presents. I think it was 1968? this year everyone will have a pair in their christmas stocking! And of course they had pompoms!
I love that story! Thank for sharing and for watching! 🥰
I just got this knitting machine to make things for my kids and family. Your video is so thoughtful and informative. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this. :)
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos and the videos to come. Please subscribe if you haven’t already! 🥰
Glad you shared this I am new to the knitting machine but have made this type of slippers by crocheting and was just wondering if I could do it on the machine and now I can
You’re welcome 😊Have fun!
Congratulations on 1K subscribers! And thank you for this tutorial. definitely going to try.
Excellent. I had these slippers growing up. Mom made them. As an adult, I asked her to make me a pair but she couldn’t remember the pattern.her name was Mary too
I hope you make yourself a pair then❤️

Both my Grandmother and my Mom made needle knit slippers that I just loved,though I am not a knitter my husband is getting me a dental for Christmas and this will be my first project😍😍😍😍I can't wait,like a kid in a candy store😅😅😅
That’s great! Have fun!

I own 3 of these machines I added my own counter and you can get a 2 pack of tention holders for 5 bucks. I already had to replace mine
Thank you. I have since bought counters and tensioners. ❤️

Love this tutorial, thank you so much 💓
The counters are temperamental. You can unscrew the box and line up the gear again - it should be fine. Or count as you stitch and place a small scrap of yarn every 10 or 20 rows to keep track. I love my Sentro.
I’m going to try your suggestion. Thank you very much.
It was my Aunt. She made me and my brother a pair every Christmas. We loved them! She’s been gone many years now. I am going to make them and remember her every time I wear them.
That’s wonderful! I think that knitted slippers were a thing in the last generation and not so much now. We gotta bring them back.

My sentro counter only works on occasion. I just use a free knitting row counter on my phone. I know I have to stop a click a button but it works for me. I typically knit 5 or 10 rows and then stop and add them to my row counter
Yes, we do whatever works. It takes a bit of time to stop but it’s worth not losing count. My kids asked me for some christmas ideas. I suggested two counters. One for each Sentro! 🥰
my gran made crochet shoes i loved them so much
I hope these slippers bring back good memories of her.
I only have an Addi 22 and a Sentro 40. I also have a very thin foot so I'm wondering if I can get by with making these with my Sentro. Hmmmmmm..... I will let you know.😁
Mattress stitch two (22 needle) panels together and continue the process. That will give you a 44 needle width.
Omg these are so much easier I am so making
Hahaha! Have fun!
Congratulations on making 1000 subscribers. Now you have many more
When you attach the pomp Pom do you use that little clear plastic gadget that you use on your hats?
Thank you! Just hit 14,000 yesterday!
I do not use them for slippers. I tie them on tight and they will never come off! Lol
Love this! I too want to add a cuff, how would you create a crochet type rib? Front post and back loop alternating?
Yes, that’s what I would likely do or you could also HDC your rows. One row of DC then another row in between stitches is also nice.
All SC ……. Anything really.
Hi I love these slippers you’ve made to replicate your grandmas original hand knitted ones. I’m getting inspired to open that sentro box of mine. Still need to look at some more videos to feel totally comfortable with it though. I hope mine doesn’t break that easy. How do you feel about the sentro versus the addi? I’m sure the addi is quite stronger built considering the costs. I figured since I’m new to these machines though that I would try the cheaper version first. Ty for your tips and version of making the slippers. Happy new year🎉
Welcome to the circular knitting world. I hope you love it. I have both Addi and Sentro machines and I will say that the Addi is more sturdy and a better structure over all but I love my Sentro’s as well. They have a smoother and quieter mechanic. The counters are terrible and almost always miscount. But I just count and mark every 10 rows or use a finger counter.
Don’t give up if you are dropping or tucking stitches right away. It takes time to get the feel and technique. You made a good purchase.

I think eBay is the best for spare parts for the Sentro machine
Thank you for posting! these will make great bed slippers for in our cold winter months and great stocking stuffers. which yarn did you use?
Great stocking stuffer idea for sure! I used a ball that was left over and had no wrapper….Lol…. But I’m pretty sure it is Craftsmart Yarn in plum. It’s a 4 weight yarn so choose whatever you like.
How do you know how big to leave the opening for the foot to go in. Got most of one finished just have to sew them up . I used the Premier puzzle yarn so they are nice and thick. Thanks for your instructions . I’ve enjoyed all your videos.
Thank you for watching 😊!
Sew up the toe end first then sew up the seam for a bit and put your foot into it. Take a stitch marker and mark one side in the place that feels comfortable - (maybe 1/4”) away from where it hits the base of your leg. Sew up to that point.
Hope that makes sense. 🥰
i have spent so much money trying many different types of yarn but no success with any of them. the only yarn that worked well is the yarn that came with the machine. i’ve watched many videos on the sentro and have tried everything. my machine drops at least ten stitches every row. pulling what hair i have, out.
It can be tough to figure out tension and speed. Sometimes you gotta watch as every stitch passes the yard feeder and make sure the loop goes down over the two teeth before it works the stitch. It can be frustrating.
Grandma and my sister who’s 14 years older then both made me slippers

Yes, My Granny made slippers for all the grandchildren and I do the same. Thank you for the nice tutorial. The yarn looks like a 4? Am I right? or is it a 5? ty Onna
Your very welcome! It is a 4 weight.
Do you find these slippers to be very slippery. I crocheted a pair years ago and almost broke my neck they were a scary thing coming down the stairs.
I would say they are slipperier than a leather or fabric slipper for sure but I haven’t had any concern to be honest. Same as just socks would be.

Nice pattern, but this is a problem with Sentro. If you can spring for an Addi. They are miles above the Sentro and worth the extra money.
Question: for kids and toddlers, would my Sentro 48 be too wide for their tiny feet?
I would think so. I haven’t made kids slippers on the machine yet but I would think you would need the 32 or 40 needle machine.
Try a flat panel over 40 needles and seam it into a tube and go from there.
👌👌💋
