These felted, knit slippers are a stylish new take on a classic knitting project. Don't be fooled by the beaded embellishment, these rugged slippers are designed to be worn daily and feature a 2-layer cushy sole, easy slip-on design and comfortable proportions that are meant for every day use. Skill level is intermediate. Sized to fit women's 6-11. (Felt to desired size.)
In addition to updated styling, these slippers introduce some fun new techniques. Knit in one piece with an "attach-as-you-go" method, they require just one T-shaped seam each. No pre-stringing of beads is required. The beads are attached to the stitches as they are worked and then a shibori technique is used for keeping the beads prominent during the felting process.
Complete with photo tutorials of special stitches, knitting charts and snapshots of the project at various stages of completion, it is certain Stitch Diva's instructions will guide you to a one-of-a-kind result. Once you make a pair for yourself, make a few more for those special friends on your gift list!
This versatile and fun design can be created with 760 total yards of any Feltable Worsted Weight Yarn such as Berroco Ultra Alpaca (hold 2 strands together) or 380 total yards of any Feltable Bulky Weight Yarn. Suggested needles are US 13 (9 mm) Needles and US 13 (9 mm) Double-Point Needles. You will also need clip-on Stitch Markers and Stitch Markers in 3 colors, a Stitch Holder or waste yarn, Crochet Hooks for beading, small cable ties, and wire cutters or Scissors.
