Felt Slippers
These cozy foot hugging felt slippers will keep your toes toasty warm all through the winter.
They are knitted on 2 needles and have no complicated sock heel shaping to tackle!
You can even knit each slipper in easy sections and seam them together, before washing them to transform your knitting into thick warm felt.
If you prefer to try an in the round version with no seam along the top of the foot, I have created this version which looks great in stripey yarn.

My clear and detailed pattern instructions guide you step by step, through knitting, making up and felting your slippers.
I include lots of knitting tips and a specially extended felting section to ensure your slippers fit perfectly.
This pattern includes full instructions to make 3 sizes..
Felted Size Small, UK size 3-4 approx 22cm long
Medium UK size 5-6 approx 24cm long
Large UK size 7-8 approx 26cm long
Yardage 150gm / 3x 50g balls of Rico creative Filz
If you wish to use a substitute yarn -
Any other felting /filz yarn will work however, if using a substitute yarn your project may felt to a different size.
My instructions clearly explain how to custom size your slippers but if in doubt knit a size larger and felt more!
You may also have problems with the knitting felting shut. This can be avoided by putting plastic bags inside the project during felting.
