WARM BOOT SLIPPERS to KNIT & FELT – 4 SIZES – by BEV GALESKAS of FIBER TRENDS

FELT BOOT SLIPPERS

Styled like a high-top tennis shoe, this design is by Bev Galeskas.   Sizes: Children’s X-sm (5″), sm (6″), med (7″), lg (8″).  Felt slippers may tend to grow some with wearing, but then so do children. If they become too large, washing will bring them back to size (the slippers, not the children).

Knitting Needles needed: 16″ or 24″ (40 or 60 cm) circular size 10.5 (6.5 mm).  Smaller sizes are easiest to knit on a 16″ (40 cm) needle.

Yarn Needed: Worsted weight wool.  (130, 160, 200, 240) yards of main color and (60, 80, 100, 120) yards of contrast.

Gauge: Approximately 14 sts = 4″ (10 cm) before felting.  Finished size is determined by the amount of felting.
