Kari Slippers Pattern

This are the tiny tiniest slippers I've ever designed. They make a darling baby gift and I absolutely love them. With so few stitches and rows, they knit up in a flash. Part of the Norseknits Slipper collection Sizes Toddler size US 5-6 Yarn Raumagarn 3 tr. Strikkegarn, 50 g Main Color: Off-White 101 (or 30 meters of equivalent DK-weight yarn). Contrasting Color: 50 g Red 124 (or 25 meters of equivalent DK-weight yarn) Needles and Hooks 3mm double-point needles, a 3mm crochet hook, and a darning needle. Gauge and Swatch 24 stitches = 4 inches or 10 cm, and lightly felted 28 stitches = 4 inches or 10 cm Please pay attention to the gauge and use whatever size knitting needle you need to in order to obtain the gauge. In teaching a class on these slippers, I have seen knitters use as small as a US 2 needle and as large as a US 5. It is all about the gauge.
