I’ve been knitting felted slippers for years – they’re one of my favourite quick and satisfying projects. My sister Sarah wears hers every single day, which means she tends to wear them out pretty quickly. So I designed these slippers especially for her – thicker, more durable, and super cosy. They’re worked in Drops Snow using chunky 10 mm needles, which makes them felt up densely and hold their shape better over time. The result is a structured, warm, and long-lasting slipper you’ll want to live in.

They’re knit flat, seamed together, and finished with an i-cord edge – simple techniques with a clean look. The striping is perfect for using up yarn scraps or playing with colour combos.

This pattern is beginner-friendly and includes 7 sizes. There are YouTube tutorials available for parts of the slipper, but feel free to message me if there’s any specific section you’d like a video for – I’d be more than happy to post one.
