My felted slippers are done! These work up really fast, and are very cozy. My last pair fell apart in May, and it was already getting a bit warmer so I didn’t bother making another pair for summer. But now that it’s getting chilly again, time for more slippers!
Here they are before felting – my foot added for scale
And here they are after their trip through the washer on hot and extra agitation and a little while in the dryer.
They are still a bit big – the yarn I used is a wool/alpaca blend, and it didn’t shrink quite as much as plain wool would. However, a little big is better than too small. Especially when it gets cold enough to warrant socks as well as slippers 🙂
The pattern is (Ravelry link) Felted Clogs, and the yarn is Valley Yarns Berkshire in the Capri colorway. I also just got yarn to make more of these for family members, so those will be getting made in the near future as well. Do you have a slipper or sock pattern you really like and find yourself going back to over and over?
Quite A Yarn 
Those turned out great! I wasn’t crazy about the last felted slipper pattern I knit, but I found an old printed pattern when I moved that I remembered making several of for the family. So I will be trying that one again.

There are some things I’m not 100% thrilled about with this one. But it does make good slippers 🙂

I love how they look. It amazes me that they go through such a transformation. I have not felted anything deliberately (lol). It must be odd to knit something that is so big to start with.

It is definitely odd! The first time I made these I was sure that something was wrong somewhere – nope, they really do start out that big!

They look so warm!! I’d love to do that, but my washer doesn’t felt things, and I don’t have the patience to do it by hand.

I don’t know if I would bother if my washer wouldn’t do it either. They are really warm and cushy – there are two layers of sole, so they are very comfy 🙂
