Knitted slippers look very gently and cozy. Their base is knitted, which means they can not take off at all and sit in them right on the sofa, they are perfectly bent. Hook sneakers on the felt insole is easier to do, since the insole should not be knit, it can be said, it is already ready.
It is better to choose woolen threads, because products of them are very warm. They are also well combined with felt. Also, the felt insole does not pass water. If you come at home on something wet, then slippers will not get wet. If at home is cold, then the insole from the felt will go well, as it will be good to keep warm. Woolen threads do not sculpt during knitting. The pattern will be clearly visible on them.
Synthetic threads are smoother, they are easier to knit, but they are often allergic, especially in children.
Very interesting and unusually looking threads with the effect of the Ombre. Such slippers do not even need to decorate, no one will do themselves.
Getting to work
For sneakers we need:
- felt;
- Threads 150 grams;
- scissors;
- pattern;
- Hook 3 mm;
- Shilo or thick needle.
The pattern is very simple. Put your insole on a piece of felt and circle it, making an allowance of 1 cm.
With the description, you will understand how to tie slippers, even if you never knit. Especially crochet knit lighter than spokes.
To knit, you will need to be able to knit with columns without Nakid. To begin with, pick up air loops. The first loop, which is on the hook, is not considered.
There should be the following.
Next raise knitting up. We make a lift loop, make a hook through the lift loop and the previous loop.
Take a thread through these two loops.
According to this principle, the column without a Nakida.

We start knitting sneakers.
First we do in our insoles holes with a seer or a thick needle. 0.5 mm from the edge should be retracted, the gaps between the holes are also 0.5 mm.
Then you need to tie the insole, as in the photo. We fold a thread halve and tie the column without a nakid, two columns in every hole. It is necessary to knit tight so that the sneakers keep the shape.
Next, we measure the length around the perimeter to calculate the length of the pattern.
The motive must be hexagonal. For one sneaker, you need three motifs.
You can use other knitting schemes, the main thing so that they are hexagonal.
It is necessary to take into account that if you multiply by 8 the length of the side of the motive, it should be equal to the perimeter of our insoles.
There should be six such details.
Next you need to sew all the details. We sew the details at number 1, then the part numbers 2. Details at number 4 do not sew.
Details can be sewed with a needle with thread and crochet.
Details at number 3 are sewn to the insole. When you sew all parts to the insole, we mix a little nose to the right and left, for the left and right leg. If you want to make sneakers completely knitted, then you can connect two feet for each sneaker. And inside the mating put the insole from the felt. However, when washing slippers, it is worth considering that felt requires special appeal. When washing, the sneakers in the washing machine must be put a small temperature. Also, you should not squeeze the sneakers, they should dry themselves. Otherwise, the sole of the face is formless.
The sole should not be done in light colors, they quickly dump and it will be necessary to wash the slippers. If you decide to make a knitted sole, with felt inside, then for the outside of the sole, it is better to choose synthetic threads. They provide a more dense mating, through which dirt will not pass, since there will be almost no holes in the mating.
