I am also making these slippers and am having a problem with it. Pattern says knit both sides, but on wrong side I cannot seem to get the technique of bringing the yarn across on the " wrong side " of the slippers. It " scares " me when the pattern is rated as easy. I guess I need an easier step by step explanation. I appreciate any feed back. Thanks.
Welcome to Knitting Help!
I’m not sure if this is the same pattern but it seems close.
The tutorial may help. Basically, the idea is to carry the yarn that isn’t in use. When you work a right side row, the yarn is carried across the back. You also twist the yarn on the back when you change colors. The reverse is true when you’re working a wrong side row. Carry the yarn in front of you and twist the yarn in front of you. That way the carried yarn (floats) and the twists will always be on the inside of the slipper.
I wish I had known how little I knew when I made these. LOL This would have been good to read then. I didn’t know what to ask or how to use the info I got here. I got them made and learned a few things in the process. This should be very helpful to you, Judy. Enjoy! They’re comfy and cushy and worth the effort. 
You are correct. I had to try and try again, but I finally got there. Because I am not great at ripping back , past a mistake, It took longer than I had expected , But happily I can add that I have completed half of one slipper !! It is " funny " how a pattern suddenly makes sense, when you know what you are doing. Thanks for your message.
Ripping out knitting is always painful. The reward is that in the end, the slippers will be wonderful. It might help to add in alifeline. if you should have to rip out some rows, lifelines make it slightly less painful and ensure that you can pick up all your sts.
Thanks everyone. I am right on track now. I think this will be my "go to " pattern for slippers now. I have made a few different styles, some with soles added on, and I still manage to make holes and wear out the bottoms. I hope that these will last longer.
Off topic, I noticed different styles of knitting on some of the videos. I have always been in awe of knitters who seem to draw the yarn off of their finger, instead of bringing the yarn under and over the point of the needle. I would be interested in how it is done. :knitting:
The knitting you’re wondering about, is it Continental or English?
Not sure, but I would be guessing when I say that it is Continental. I worked with a woman many years ago, who hailed from Norway, and this was her style of knitting.
Is the working yarn held in the left hand? That’s Continental, I think European style knitters hold it in the left hand. In Eastern European (there are so many names!) style the purls are worked differently. Then there’s Norwegian purling, which may or may not be the same, I’m not sure. If we can narrow down what you’re wondering about, we might be able to help you find the answer. Things like this bug me no end so I like helping others find out too.
