I love to get into my PJ’s and slipper socks for evening TV viewing or reading. I have purchased a lot of pairs of “fat slipper socks”, as I called them, over the years, but they always end up feeling too tight and I constantly pull at them to make them more comfortable. So, I decided to make me some that were a bit looser and that would feel better. I think I inherited that trait from my mother – she was always having me hunt for loose socks for evening wear in her later years. So, I went to the bulky machine so they would be thick and warm. They looked huge off the machine, but when I got the toe stitched up with Kitchener stitch, they fit perfectly! Not too loose and more importantly – not too tight. No more pulling and adjusting my slipper socks all evening. 🙂 The pattern is above if you would like to try a pair. I used Red Heart 4 ply yarn and knit them in the round with the ribber. Ahhhh…comfy AND warm toes. 🙂
Ann,
These clippers certainly do look comfy. Thanks so much for providing the pattern. I’m going to try them out.

Thank you one again for generously sharing your pattern Ann. It’s much appreciate! Can’t wait to have a go. I’ve never knitted anything in the round on the machine! Best wishes Irene

What a coincidence. I just started making these as well. I am currently taking chemotherapy for breast cancer and the chemo is affecting my nails on my hands and feet. I have lost the nail on my large toe with more to follow so I decided to knit socks and slippers that don’t restrict my toes. God Bless! Judy
