Magical Slippers

Knit garter stitch flat on thick needles. Into the washing machine, and voilà – felted slippers, a bit magic.

Construction
Knit back and forth in garter stitch (only knit stitches) from cuff to toe. Short rows are worked to shape the heel. At the end, the slippers are assembled while knitting.

Size Guide
A slipper that can be made to fit anyone. The pattern includes tips for achieving a size that matches your shoe size. The fit depends somewhat on how firmly you felt it, but it’s quite moldable while wet, and can be adjusted.
