The Ida Slipper boots are high shafted slippers with a defined sole, and a shaped heel cap. They are worked seamlessly in one piece from the back of the heel to the tip of the toe.

Two characteristic details provide both structure and definition to the finished slipper:

• A lateral braid worked with a crochet hook frames and stabilizes the slipper shaft opening, while
• A crochet chain follows the recessed purl groove around the sole, emphasizing the defined shoe-like profile.

Both details can be worked in the main color or in a contrasting color to highlight the construction.

The slippers are felted in the washing machine and shaped while wet. Felting transforms the knitted construction into a dense, self-supporting slipper while preserving the structural lines established during knitting.
