Pixie Felt Slipper
These elf style pixie slippers with curving pointed toes and pixie points around the cuff will keep your toes happy and warm all winter
They are easily knitted on 2 needles and have no complicated sock heel shaping to tackle!
You can even knit each slipper in easy sections and seam them together, before washing them to transform your knitting into thick warm felt.
My clear and detailed pattern instructions guide you step by step, through knitting, making up and felting your slippers.
I include lots of knitting tips and a specially extended felting section to ensure your slippers fit perfectly.
This pattern includes full instructions to make 3 sizes..
Felted Size Small, UK size 3-4 approx 22cm long
Medium UK size 5-6 approx 24cm long
Large UK size 7-8 approx 26cm long
Yardage Small and medium 200gm / 4x 50g balls of Grundl Filzwolle
Large 250gm / 5x 50g balls of Grundl Filzwolle
If you wish to use a substitute yarn -
Yarn weight 5 or 6
Bulky / Chunky( sometimes called Craft or Rug) or Super Bulky / Super Chunky
12 -14 ply
Alternatively - Aran / Worsted weight held double ( 2 strands together) or triple.
If using a substitute yarn your project may felt to a different size, you may also have problems with the knitting felting shut. This can be avoided by putting plastic bags inside the project during felting.
