Tuff Slippers

Discover the joy of crafting your very own cozy slippers with our detailed knitting pattern! These charming slippers are designed to be worked flat, starting with a heel flap, before extra stitches are cast on and joined in the round at the instep. The knitting continues in the round, leading to a lovely finish with decreases for the toe. Once your knitting is complete, the slippers undergo a fun felting process that shrinks them down to approximately 70-75% of their finished knitted size, resulting in a snug fit perfect for chilly days.

To accurately calculate the measurements needed for your knitting project, simply multiply the desired foot length by 1.3. It's important to note that the finished item will have some stretch, so felting them to slightly smaller dimensions is an effective approach for achieving the perfect fit. Don’t forget: for the best results, always use non-superwash wool yarn! This type of yarn is ideal as it will properly felt, creating durable and warm slippers that you'll love to wear and gift.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced knitter, this slipper pattern is a delightful project to undertake, combining the art of knitting with the fun of felting. Start creating your custom felted slippers today and bring warmth and comfort to your feet!
