These fun little Toddler Loafers are the perfect gift to keep the special little feet in your life cozy and warm.
This pattern includes several high definition photos, written instructions in easy to understand terms, as well as detailed felting and finishing instructions.
If you’ve never felted before, this is a perfect beginner project! It’s felted in the washing machine, in an easy peasy process, and there are detailed instructions to guide you along the way. Instructions are given for Top Loading and Front Loading washing machines, as well as a Hand Felting alternative, for whatever your circumstances may be.
This pattern is intended for the Intermediate level Knitter, or the Adventurous Beginner. The entire pattern is done in garter stitch and techniques within the pattern include picking up stitches, knitting in the round, short-rows, cable cast-on, and buttonholes.
If you are one of the many visual learners out there in the world, you will be pleased to note that I have video tutorials to help with the more complicated parts of this pattern. These videos can be found under the “Knitting Help” tab at the top of my webpage:
