THE KIT
Felted Slippers is a classic hand-knit gift so when we saw these sweet striped Sailor Slippers we ran to Lamb's Pride to see how we could make this pattern work! Our kits include 3 full skeins of Lamb's Pride Bulky and a quarter-skein of the i-cord color. The i-cord color is locked in, but you have options about which 2 colors you stripe and which color to use for the sole. In addition to the yarn, we have included a printed pattern in the organza kit bags. Just add needles (that help you achieve the correct gauge) and you're off to slipper-knitting heaven!
THE PATTERN
From Annie Sews, The Sailor Slippers are worked flat in stockinette stitch starting with the heel panel. Stitches are then picked up at the right side of the heel panel, cast on in extension and picked up at the left side of the heel panel. This forms the top of the slippers, which is knit from ankle to toe. From there, you will carry on knitting the sole from toe to heel. The top of the foot and sole are seamed together using mattress stitch, and the heel panel and sole are then seamed horizontally. The applied i-cord is then added to form the slipper opening, before washing and felting.
We think the instructions are clear and there are accompanying tutorials videos if needed. Includes EU sizes 36 - 47
THE YARN
Lamb's Pride from Brown Sheep Co is one of our favorites at LambShoppe. Lamb’s Pride remains a universal favorite because of its single-ply ease, silky finish, and extensive color selection. With its unique blend of 85% wool and 15% mohair, Lamb’s Pride has a distinctive luster that will knit up a pair of excellent heirloom slippers. Find MORE color options below! 113g/125 yards
