Crocheted in a chunky 100% wool yarn, and then felted in your washing machine, this pattern gives instructions to make slippers to fit each UK shoe size from Child Size 12 through to Adult Size 13.

The toe tips curl upwards for a bit of fun. Despite the wacky style the slippers are very comfortable. Being 100% wool they are also cosy and warm and allow your feet to breathe well.

After just one felting wash each size should fit the intended wearer’s feet with a generous space allowance inside. You can repeat the wash cycle if needed to shrink and thicken a little bit more for a snugger fit.

Working at a steady rate this pattern will take about 1 hour of crochet work per 50g ball of yarn used. Total time will depend on the size of the slippers being made. Check the ball quantities for each size.

The quantities quoted below do include a safety allowance so that you don’t run out of yarn:
One pair UK Child Size 12 = 4 balls (Total 200g / 200m)
One pair UK Child Size 13 to Adult Size 2 = 5 balls (Total 250g / 250m)
One pair UK Adult Sizes 3 to 5 = 6 balls (Total 300g / 300m)
One pair UK Adult Sizes 6 to 8 = 7 balls (Total 350g / 350m)
One pair UK Adult Sizes 9 to 12 = 8 balls (Total 400g / 400m)
One pair UK Adult Size 13 = 9 balls (Total 450g / 450m)

You can use one solid colour yarn for plain slippers. Or change yarn colour part way through the work to create striped slippers.
Self-striping multi-coloured yarns give interesting results. Each manufacturer’s product will give different colour patches, depending on the yarn length of the printed colour repeat.

From 27 March 2016 the pattern pdf document contains two copies of the instructions, one in UK crochet terminology and one in US crochet terminology.
The slipper sizes are UK shoe sizes in both versions of the pattern.
