————————-
Here is some additional information if needed to assemble the slippers after they have been knit.
The slippers are independent of the bunny and a separate piece. Take the slipper and fold it so that the row ends are together. This seam will eventually go at the heel of the slipper. Sew down the row ends. The cast on row and cast off row will be in half so that the first and last stitch meets at the end where the seam is. Sew along the cast on row and then the cast off row too. The whole piece will be sealed. Then it is just a matter of folding it in the correct way. Take the piece and open it up so that the cast on row goes along the bottom of the sole from front to back. You then invert the top of the sole so that the cast off row goes inside the centre of the slipper. It will make a sort of long bowl shape. Then attach the top of the slipper at the front.

Pattern Instructions and Help
What About Knitting Needles?
We use either 3mm(UK 11, US 3) needles with Double Knitting yarn.If you use chunky / bulky then 4.5mm single pointed knitting needles(UK 7, US 7) are what we use.
Is That Right? It Seems Too Small?
If you look at a ball band or have knitted garments before, you will know the recommended size is for larger needles.We do this so when you knit the pieces the knitting stays dense and the toy stuffing doesn't show through.
The article gives help to avoid wobbly knitted heads and makes them secure for children to use. How Do I Attach a Head to a Knitted Toy ?
Here is a guide to guide to sewing eyes securely to your finished toy. How Do I Get Perfect Toy Eyes?
Using Your Pattern
Do You Sell Yarn, Needles or Haberdashery?
All we do is create gorgeous toy knitting patterns.We don't sell anything else.This makes us specialists at what we do.
This also means that you are free to buy your haberdashery from your local yarn shop or any other place that you like.
Do I Need To Go And Buy More Yarn?
No. (Well, not unless you want to!) Just use up some of your stash. The patterns don't use any brand in particular. If you keep the yarn a consistent thickness for all colours and you can pretty much use what you want.
We tend to use acrylic yarn for our toys as the thickness is consistent and colours are vibrant.
We only use 2 thicknesses of yarn for all patterns. Either Double Knitting (Light Worsted, 8ply, No.3, Approx 300m/100g) or Chunky (Bulky, 16ply, No.5, Approx 150m/100g) See the listing to see which one we used.
You know that you will be able to use the pattern in future too when your stash changes. Don't be afraid to experiment with fancy yarns and thicknesses.

The slippers can be a little tricky. If you take the sole and fold it so that the row ends are together and sew down them. This will eventually be the at the heel. The top and bottom will still be open at this point. With the piece in half, look at the piece sideways with the seam you have just created in your left hand and the fold to the right. Then take the cast off edge and push it inside the lower part of the piece so that it meets up with the cast on edge and they are now touching. The slipper will want to go into an oblong bowl shape and will want to curl naturally. You then sew up the seams and it will be the right shape ready for the top of the slipper.
