Necessary materials

In order to tie beautiful slippers with knitting needles you will need:

• multicolored wool yarn (it is important that the threads are completely woolen, since it is on them that the success of the subsequent felting process depends);
• spokes;
• needle for stitching;
• Washer.

Instructions

First of all, prepare the yarn of several contrasting colors that blend well with each other. Slippers, if desired, can be done in one shade, but if you make them and multi-colored squares, they will end up looking much more interesting.

Also, before you bind the slippers with your own hands, determine the desired size of the future product. Please note that during the felting process, the sneakers will sit down, so there's nothing wrong with the fact that the original knitted stock will seem too big to you.

The side of one square element should be:

• for babies 1-3 years: 6.5 cm;
• for children 4-9 years: 7.5 cm;
• for women: 8-9 cm;
• for men: 10 cm.

And here is a detailed master-class that will help you to connect your home slippers with knitting needles:

1. Type the loops on the spokes and tie the first square of the required size with a simple garter stitch.
2. Change the thread color and continue to knit until the next square is ready.
3. Type the loops from the side of the first square and tie the third.
4. Take the threads of a new color, and alternately dial the loops from the sides of the second and third squares and tie the fourth and fifth.
5. In the middle of the formed figure, connect the sixth square, if desired, changing the color of the thread.
6. Sew together the squares 4, 5 and 6, forming a heel.
7. From the edge of the first block, type the hinges and tie the seventh piece of the slipper.
8. Sew all the details together.
9. Now the product has only to be washed in a washing machine in hot water and homemade slippers, knitted needles ready!
