The Christmas Slipper Boots pattern for adults is very beginner-knitter & beginner-felter friendly.

Sizes
Standard shoe sizes are used in this pattern. But the pattern also provides information to fully tailor the slippers to fit exactly your foot. You start measuring your foot to give you some landmarks for later use in the pattern.

Pattern Outline
You cast on stitches for the back of the heel and start shaping the heel. The heel is made seamless using the Turkish double cast on technique.
Once the step-in hole is made the slipper boots are worked in the round using the magic loop technique, finalizing with toe decreases. You pick up stitches at the step-in hole to make the boot shaft – also working in the round. Once knitted the slipper boots are wet felted in a washing machine and left to dry. The final step is to add the Santa Fur to the shaft edge.
