Meet the Robin Slippers, the newest member of my felted slipper family, specifically designed for children’s feet in EU sizes 20–35.

The slippers feature a high heel cap, a shaped front ankle, and a defined sole, with proportions adapted to growing feet.

Worked seamlessly from the heel towards the toe, the construction gradually shapes the sole and front ankle to provide a comfortable fit and a structured, shoe-like profile.

Two characteristic finishing details complete the design:

  • A lateral braid frames and stabilizes the step-in opening.
  • A crochet chain follows the recessed purl groove around the sole, emphasizing its defined shape.

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

The slippers are felted in the washing machine and shaped while wet, transforming the knitted fabric into dense, self-supporting slippers.

Step-by-step video tutorials accompany the pattern, demonstrating the construction and techniques, with links provided throughout.֍
