These are all free patterns
I found while surfing the web.
Most are just basic ones that
you can do as they are or add
your own personal touch. Here's
some music to listen to while
you work. Have fun!

BABY BOOTIES
by KD ELLIS
Booties:
Baby weight yarn, gauge: 7sts=1inch, 8rows=1inch, in stockinette st.
Knitting needles size 2 and 4 or size needed to knit to gauge.
These booties are in two colors (Main Color=MC,
Contrasting Color=CC) and come out with a checkerboard design on top. Very easy to make, but I knit quite a bit.
Starting at top of cuff with smaller needles and CC, cast on
56 sts. Work k1p1 ribbing for 3/4", decrease 14 sts evenly
spaced across last row--42 sts. Change to larger needles.
Next Row: With CC, k 3, * with MC, k 4, with CC, k 4; repeat
from *, end with CC, k 3. Work even with colors as set for
3 rows.
Next Row: Work in pattern (in stockinette st) on 14 sts and slip to holder, work on next 14 sts, place remaining sts on other holder. Work even on 14 sts for instep, reversing color pattern every 4 rows to form blocks until instep measures 2: from beginning, end with p row.
Next Row (right side): With CC, k across sts of first holder, pick up and k 12 sts along right edge of instep rows, k 14 across end of instep, pick up and k 12 sts along left edge of instep, k sts of 2nd holder--66 sts. K 2 rows.
Next Row: k 32, place marker, k2, place marker, k 32. Decrease 1 st each side of center 2 sts every other row until 58 sts remain. K 2 rows.
Shape Sole: Bind off 23 sts at beginning of next 2 rows--12 sts. K every row until 2 3/4" from beginning of shaping. Bind off. Sew center back seam. Sew edges of sole to bottom of bootie.

Leave a length of yarn long enough to sew seam.
Using a yarn needle, draw
yarn through remaining stitches on the
needle and pull up tight. Fasten well

loosening, then sew back seam.

SLIPPERS
Mary L. Redmon
This pattern is a combination of years of trial and error to find the best and easiest way to knit slippers. I use the same pattern for all adults; they stretch to fit all. Even the men like them.
Materials: 4 ply yarn
Needles: size 8 needles
Instructions:
Cast on 45 sts.
Row 1: knit
Row 2: k7, p1, k29, p1, k7
Row 3: k 17, p1, k9, p1, k 17
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until you have 16 ridges. Cast off 7 sts for two rows. Continue pattern for 10 ridges.
Shape Toe:
Row 1: k2, k2 tog across; end k3
Rows 2, 3, 4: knit
Row 5: k1, k 2 tog across
Rows 6, 7, 8: knit
Row 9: k2 tog across
Row 10: knit
Cut yarn leaving a 10 inch tail. Thread needle, draw sts tog and sew together the toe section. Then sew the heel edges together.
For quick knitting, I knit two at the same time with 2 skeins of yarn.
Guide note: Although these slippers do stretch quite a bit, if knitting for a woman's size 9 or larger I would knit 14 or more ridges accordingly rather than 10.
Thanks Mary L Redmon
