Constructed more like a shoe than a sock, these felted slippers will keep you stylish AND comfortable! Also great for gifts, as it is a very quick project!

This pattern is written with a lot of details and pictures, it even includes instructions for felting. My goal was to make it available to all types of knitters.

Sizes included in instructions: S (5/6), M (7/8), L (9/10). If you would like smaller or larger this would not be hard to do to- the pattern is very simplistic with size changes.

Skills needed:
Knit
Purl
Increase(make 1)
Decrease(knit 2 together, purl 2 together)

Notions Needed:
Darning Needle
Tapestry Needle
Pillow case(recommended for felting)
2 matching buttons

Although a top-loader washing machine is recommended, the pattern has been tried in a European Front-Loader(lower agitation, can’t always control the whole cycle). It can work, but it is less predictable and may take a longer amount of time.

Errata: To make for easier seaming, you can place markers on the top pieces. Place first marker at the end of row eight(for heel seam), place second marker at the end of row 34(for toe seam).
