Pattern for Felted slippers

I've had a lot of requests for the felted slipper pattern. It's a very simple pattern and doesn't require anything more than the very basics in knitting. My mom taught a few of my friends and I in an evening, and since then I've made a dozen or more!...

Materials:
size 10 mm knitting needles
3 100g balls of size 4 medium, wool for felting.

S/M (L/XL)

Make two:

Cast On 20 (22) stitches with the yarn tripled (3 strands held together throughout). Work in Stockinette Stitch(knit a row, purl a row) for 12 1/2" (14"). Cut yarn leaving an 6" tail. With the yarn needle, thread the tail through the remaining loops on the needle and pull tightly to form the toe of the slipper. Thread the leftover yarn tail through the slipper to the inside and secure.

Seam the heel of the slipper. Seam the top of the slipper leaving an 7" (8") opening for the foot. Felt the slippers using your preferred method and shape before drying. 


I felt my slippers by throwing them in a HOT wash in my front loader washing machine with a pair of jeans or a towel. Depending on your machine you may need to felt them 2 times. They should feel tight on your foot at first. Take them out promptly after the cycle is thru.  Allow them to air dry. Embellish as you wish!
