Felted Baby Slippers with Textured Sole

Filipinos are really fond of wearing slippers whenever and whatever the occasion may be. The trend of flip flops and slip-ons crazed major malls nationwide. Why?  We love the comfort these footwear provides. No additional fuzz. Simple yet rocks.

I was playing with my fiance’s niece when I saw one of her slippers lying around. I picked it up and got inspired to make a pair of slippers. It’s what I do usually. Be inspired then crochet.

This pair of slippers is made with felted wool, for additional touch of softness and comfort. Plus ankle-wrap straps to secure the slippers on for extra flirty style. I also made the bottom sole textured for rough – look.

Soak Top Sole (if Yarn B is untreated wool) in hot water (preferably water that just got boiled) with dishwashing liquid for 5-10 minutes (as desired – or longer). Remove the cloth from hot water. Be careful with being burned. Gently hand wash the cloth until felting occurs. Soak again to hot water. Repeat procedure til desired texture is achieve. Wash the soap in cold water. Let the sole dry.

The textured effect was created by alternating treble and single crochet.

Momoink is going to Tagaytay tonight together with Mike. But she saw me last night doing the beret and was excited to try it on. She did so this morning, just before I left for work.
