Kids Slippers Loafer Style Felted Knit by Monique Rae Designs
What Is Being Made
These are children's slippers designed in a classic loafer style with a felted knit construction. The slippers feature a high back and sides that provide maximum coverage over the top of the foot, with a rounded upper for comfort and durability. The pattern is available in three sizes: small, medium, and large, with wide width options. Both left and right slippers are knit identically using the same pattern instructions, simplifying the construction process for knitters of all experience levels within the intermediate range.
Techniques Used
The primary technique employed in this pattern is felting, which transforms the knitted fabric into a denser, more durable material suitable for slipper wear. Felting creates a finished surface that resists pilling and extends the life of the garment. The pattern requires sewing to assemble the various knitted components into the finished slipper form, combining knitted pieces to create the structured loafer silhouette. Row counters are recommended to track progress through the pattern, particularly for larger sizes that require extended knitting sequences.
Stitches and Construction
The pattern utilizes fundamental knitting stitches, with extended sections of knit stitch forming the body of each slipper. Specific row sequences vary by size: medium-sized slippers require knitting rows 13 through 17, while large-sized slippers extend this sequence to rows 13 through 21. The pattern includes sole instructions that are customized based on the chosen size, with row 22 marking a transition point in the construction sequence. The doubled yarn technique is used throughout the entire pattern to create appropriate fabric weight and density for felting.
Materials: Yarn and Needles
The pattern calls for 100% worsted weight wool yarn, which is ideal for felting and creating sturdy, long-lasting slippers. Yarn requirements vary by size: small requires approximately 3.0 ounces (186 yards), medium requires 3.2 ounces (195 yards), and large requires 3.5 ounces (215 yards). Actual yarn amounts may vary depending on the specific sole size selected, individual knitting tension, and the particular yarn brand used. Needles required are either a 24-inch circular needle or double-pointed needles in US size 11 (8.0mm), accommodating the worsted weight yarn and creating the appropriate gauge for felting.
