[Pattern] Enes Slippers - English

Enes are gaugeless slippers I designed to use my handspun yarns which are too uneven, bumpy, thick and thin to get an even gauge. The construction is simple, without ever breaking the yarn from cast on at the toe to bind off at the heel end.
It’s an easy and mindless pattern where you can play with the yarns!

Required techniques:
knit, purl, left/right leaning increases (video tutorial included), p2tog, SSK, Judy’s magic cast-on (video tutorial included).

Sizes and Finished Measurements:
your own sizes

Yarn:
Any yarns (from DK to Bulky) as long as you can get a fabric dense enough for slippers.
