The art of felting dates back centuries and is still popular today. Felted pieces are more ridged, longer lasting, and more structured than traditional knit pieces, making the process ideal for creating customized, comfortable slippers!
These slippers are easy to make because they are knitted in a similar way to socks — only oversized — using large needles and then felted in the washing machine. In Knitting and Felting Slippers, authors Sabine Abel, Annette Diepolder, and Karoline Hoffmeister guide you through the process to create more than 20 charming felt slipper designs for adults and children with well-detailed techniques, step-by-step instructions, and finishing details including heel seaming and cap-heeled slippers.
Designs include:
- Inspired by Asia
- Softly Striped
- Autumn Leaves
- Cheeky, Cheerful, Colorful
- Sophisticated Checks
- Warm, Warmer, Warmest
- A Star is Born

- And more!
Knitting is quick and irregularities in the stitch pattern are completely irrelevant as they are no longer visible after felting. Once the slippers have been knitted, the washing machine does the rest of the work! The hot water and agitation cause the fibers to become matted and shrunk to the appropriate size.
