This are the tiny tiniest slippers in the collection. I love these little slippers. They make a darling baby gift. With so few stitches and rows, they knit up in a flash.

Sizes: Toddler size US 5-6

Yarn
Raumagarn 3 tr. Strikkegarn, 50 g
Main Color: Off-White 101 (or 30 meters of equivalent DK-weight yarn).
Contrasting Color: 50 g Red 124 (or 25 meters of equivalent DK-weight yarn)

Needles and Hooks
3mm double-point needles, a 3mm crochet hook, and a darning needle.

Gauge
24 stitches = 4 inches or 10 cm, and lightly felted 28 stitches = 4 inches or 10 cm
Please pay attention to the gauge and use whatever size knitting needle you need to in order to obtain the gauge. In teaching a class on these slippers, I have seen knitters use as small as a US 2 needle and as large as a US 5. It is all about the gauge.
