Norwegian House Slippers
Notes before you begin:
Weave in loose ends as you work. This will save you from having bulk and knots at the seams when joined.
This pattern works up wonderfully with scrap wools, and acrylics both. It is advisable to double the yarns when working with acrylic yarn. In this case, be colorful and coordinate the yarns!
Felt after finished when working with wool – you will love them!
They work up large – very large. They are designed to shrink in the wash, so you may want to consider this fact before you embark on making a pair from acrylic (adjust size accordingly in the event you are not shrinking them).
When working with multiple colors it’s best to follow the included schematic for the color block arrangement.
Lay your squares out before stitching together to determine your pattern. If you follow the sample above, you will get a wonderful pair of color blocked slippers! Trust me; I had to learn this the hard way numerous times of making this pattern.
If you do wind up with knots in the seams (corners) try felting with a felting needle to get them flattened out.
You will need to 16 squares total (8 each slipper) regardless of the size slipper being made.
