These are easy to make and sooooo very warm. After seeing this post about knitted slippers http://blog.craftzine.com/craftprojects/easy_house_slippers/ I knew I had to make some. I had some wool yarn (wool of the Andes from Knit Picks) just waiting for a felted project. I went to the crochet version because I crochet faster than I knit and I was impatient. It has gotten cold here and I needed to warm up some toes. The hardest part is folding them into a slipper. You might need this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKMFEkSKGHg I did. It took 3 wash cycles to get them felted down small enough for my feet, but they are now PERFECT! I stopped the machine before the wash water drained out and re-set it to the beginning twice. After they were rinsed and spun out I put them on wet to form them to my feet, getting a custom fit.
PERFECT!
