Felt boot slippers styled like a high-top tennis shoe.
Design by Bev Galeskas
Sizes: Children's X-sm (5"), sm (6"), med (7"), lg (8").
For larger sizes, see pattern AC-13.
Felt slippers may tend to grow some with wearing, but then so do children. If they become too large, washing will bring them back to size (the slippers, not the children).
Needles: 16" or 24" (40 or 60 cm) circular size 10.5 (6.5 mm).
Smaller sizes are easiest to knit on a 16" (40 cm) needle. Straight needles may be used for sole.
Gauge: Approximately 14 sts = 4" (10 cm) before felting.
Finished size is determined by the amount of felting.
Yarn: Worsted weight wool.
(130, 160, 200, 240) yards of main
color and (60, 80, 100, 120) yards of contrast.
Choose a wool that will felt to a firm fabric and always test felt a sample.
Suggested Naturally Yarns: 10ply Tussock, Alpine or Naturelle |
