Andes Slippers

Made me some cosy slippers from Drops Andes yarn.

They turn your cold toes to instant toast.

Free Drops pattern. Just select Andes yarn and they will show.

Slipper Boots

I bought this yarn not really knowing what it might become one day. Then last month Deramore's Advents Calendar had this Pattern as Freebie. That's when i knew.

Felted Slippers

Well, my fiancé needed some slippers. He can't wear synthetic stuff because they just become smelly way too quickly. The solution was felted slippers but it had to be 100% wool.

I found some online but half didn't say what material they actually were and the other half was like having to get a mortgage to buy them.

The solution was make them myself.

I was combing through the internet and i found a pattern which seemed easy and cheap.

Here is the link:

It is really a good pattern. It comes on 2 knitting versions and many sizes.

I used the same yarn suggested so i wouldn't have to figure out the correct felting process.

Cascade 220

I knitted the first pair and washed them at 50 degrees Celsius (a normal 60 degrees cycle with reduced temperature) and they came out perfectly.

I managed knit 3 pairs, 2 size 10 wide and 1 size 7 normal out of 400g of yarn (Cascade is knitted using 2 strands)

To make them a more secure and longer lasting i covered the bottom of the slippers with clear silicon (the same you use for kitchen or bathroom) which gives them a nice rubber sole.
