Felted Slippers: Knit Your Feet Happy 🧶

There's nothing quite like slipping your feet into a pair of slippers you've made yourself. In this class, you'll knit the Sailor Slippers by Annie Germain, then transform them through the magic of felting into cozy, durable slippers you'll never want to take off.

Along the way, you'll learn the techniques that make felted knitting such a satisfying adventure, including choosing the right yarn, knitting for felting, seaming, and the felting process itself. We'll also cover how to shape and size your slippers after felting so they fit just right.

This class is perfect for knitters looking to expand their skills with a fun, practical project. You'll leave with a pair of warm, handmade slippers and the confidence to tackle future felted projects on your own.

Skill Level: Confident beginner to intermediate. Students should be comfortable casting on, knitting, purling, and working basic decreases.

You'll Learn:

• How to knit the Sailor Slippers pattern

• Yarn selection for successful felting

• Tips for sizing before and after felting

• Seaming techniques

• How to felt your slippers for the perfect finish

• Finishing touches for slippers that are built to last

Warning: Once you've made one pair, friends and family may start placing orders.
