I've been experimenting with slipper patterns for my American Girl doll this week. These are the results. Both were made from the same pattern but with a couple of variations.
For the grey slippers, I was trying to recreate the slippers that go with Kirsten's nightgown and robe. I knit the pattern as written using a size 3 needle and added 4 more rows of garter stitch at the top before binding off. I used a two ply shetland wool and ran it through the washer with a full load on hot. I did this twice to get the desired size, not to mention getting my laundry hamper emptied.
For the white slippers, I was trying to recreate the slippers that go with Samantha's nightgown and robe. I used the same pattern on size one needles but reduced the number of stitches. I used a discontinued yarn, Bucilla Perlette, which is a fingerling size.
The pattern I found on Knitting on the Net listed as baby slippers designed by Caroline Dlugy-Hegwer
