Felted Slipper Socks
Introducing our stylish two-color slipper socks, the perfect knitting project for both beginners and experienced knitters! These delightful and cozy slipper socks make a fantastic and quick knit, whether you’re creating them for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a friend. You can choose to craft them in a beautiful two-color combination or opt for a single color for a more streamlined look—it's entirely up to you!
The knitting journey begins with the heel portion in Color A, and the slipper is worked flat to skillfully create the back of the foot and heel. Once completed, you'll seamlessly transition by picking up stitches in Color B, allowing you to work the remainder of the slipper in the round all the way to the toe. Utilizing small bits of German Short Row techniques, these slipper socks provide a refined and comfortable fit. Finally, the toe is elegantly finished off using the Kitchener Stitch for a polished look.
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Plymouth Galway Worsted or any non-superwash worsted weight 100% wool yarn. Each skein offers 100 g = 210 yards (192 meters). You will need one skein of Color A (with only about 1/3 of the skein used) and one skein of Color B. Note: Yarn is held doubled throughout for added warmth and comfort.
Needles: To make these cozy slipper socks, you’ll need US 11/8mm and US 13/9mm circular needles with 32” cables for the Magic Loop technique.
Crochet Hook: A Size J/6mm crochet hook is required for the Chinese Waitress Cast On method, which adds a unique flair to your work.
Gauge: It’s essential to achieve the correct gauge of 12 sts and 16 rows = 4” unfelted stockinette stitch on US 13/9mm needles when worked circularly, ensuring your slippers fit just right!
Sizing:
These slipper socks are designed for ladies’ narrow foot sizes, making them an ideal choice for a snug, personalized fit.
