Felted Baby Slippers
I crocheted these felted baby slippers using just a small amount of chunky wool yarn that I had left over from a thrift store purchase. I was inspired by the cute felted woman’s slippers that Guro created. Guro has a new blog site where you can find all kinds of beautiful new craft projects that she has created. I just love all her beautiful crochet projects. Click on over and check out her gorgeous designs.
I wanted to make baby slippers to fit my Granddaughter who is 10 months old. So through trial and error, I finally came up with a pattern that after felting fit her feet.
My finished slippers before felting were 3″ wide by 5″ inches long with a toe depth of 2″. After felting the slippers are 2.5″ wide by 4.25″ long. Guro has graciously allowed me to post my baby version of her slipper pattern below. Enjoy and happy crafting to all!

Make 2 slippers and then felt them in the hottest water setting you have on your washer for about 15-20 minutes. Check sizing a few times as you felt the slippers. Felt them more if needed to get to the right length for your baby’s foot. Once your felting is complete, shape the slippers and let dry.

Hi,
So glad to find this lovely felted slipper pattern, great but I wonder if you ever did it in bigger sizes? I would love to do it for bigger children but would appreciate guidelines. I can’t find anything else in chunky/bulky yarn. I have wasted so much time playing around with this.
Hope you are still keeping well.
Many thanks
Ray

Ray – I don’t have a larger child’s size of slipper pattern at this time. There is a small women’s size pattern listed in my post that Guro crocheted that you might find helpful. I know it does take some experimentation to get other sizes. I sent you an email too with some other ideas. Best wishes and hope it works out for the size you need.
