I have even made two pairs for a lady who had fractured one ankle and so made different sizes, one normal size for her healthy foot and a bigger one to accommodate the plaster. She was very happy!

I'm glad you included foot lenght and circumferance though as I don't know my sock size, LOL. However, the .pdf says T6 for outer and T4 for inner, and in the video you say T4 and T2 (and they were too small for my size 8 1/2 shoe). I really like your design better than the 14 minute slipper!TracyKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498896222222982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-33452944131754449052011-01-06T21:50:30.086-06:002011-01-06T21:50:30.086-06:00Yes, you can make this pattern on the USM.

I keep on hand rubbery T-shirt paint, like puff paint, or even a tube of silicone seal with a small nozzle to make them non-slip. Just draw some scribbles on the bottom of the slipper with the rubbery stuff. I've experimented quite a bit and prefer the clear silicone seal since I don't much like my bottom-of-the-foot artwork!Diana L.

Different yarn or a different machine will change the size.<br /><br />He sounds like he has quite a long foot. The largest size is for a guy with an 11-1/2" foot length, and that's measured by having him stand with his heel for one end and the tip of his toe is the other end. If his foot is more than 11-1/2" you should add some rows to the foot and also to the lining. You can leave the short-rowed areas alone. <br /><br />One of the problems we have knitting for other people is their preference for how tight or loose they like things to fit, especially on their feet. Sometimes on these little projects the most practical thing to do is make one on your machine with your yarn, try it on before doing all the sewing, and rip it out and reknit if necessary to get the size.Diana L.
