I wanted to make baby slippers to fit my Granddaughter who is 10 months old. So through trial and error, I finally came up with a pattern that after felting fit her feet.

My finished slippers before felting were 3″ wide by 5″ inches long with a toe depth of 2″. After felting the slippers are 2.5″ wide by 4.25″ long. Guro has graciously allowed me to post my baby version of her slipper pattern below. Enjoy and happy crafting to all!

Felted Baby Wool Slippers

Crochet hook: “J” (6 mm) hook
Yarn: 2 ozs Bulky/Chunky weight wool yarn
2) small star buttons

Rnd 1
Ch 2, work 6 Sc in 2nd ch from hook. Don’t join as this pattern is worked in rounds without joining.

Rnd 2
Work 2 Sc in ea st around to create the toe. (12 sts)

Rnd 3-7
*Sc in first st and then 2 Sc in next st*. Repeat between * until you have 19 sts in the round.
Then work even Sc in ea st until your toe is 2″ long which is approx. 7 rounds.

Rnd 8-16
Sl St in next st and turn. Sc in ea of the next 16 sts and leave the last 3 sts unworked. Ch 1, turn.

Repeat rnd 8 until your slipper is 5″ long or approx. 16 rnds completed.

FO slipper and leave a long tail to close the end of the heel with. Weave under ends.

Make 2 slippers and then felt them in the hottest water setting you have on your washer for about 15-20 minutes. Check sizing a few times as you felt the slippers. Felt them more if needed to get to the right length for your baby’s foot. Once your felting is complete, shape the slippers and let dry.

I can show and tell my pink baby kimono and Mary Jane booties now that I’ve given this set to my daughter-in-law. I’ve been having so much fun crocheting all these girlie things for my future granddaughter who is due to be born in less than a month.

This crocheted kimono sweater works up in one piece and is a highly customizable kimono wrap. I used pink RedHeart baby econo yarn and added white trim to my sweater. Here is the free crochet pattern link.

I crocheted these adorable little Mary Janes to complete my gift for the new baby. I used Abigail Goss’s free pattern found here for the Mary Janes. I added the little white flowers to tie in with the pink kimono’s white trim. I’m looking so forward to seeing the baby in this cute little crochet set later this fall.

As a sneak peak to my next project, I’m working on a new recycled t-shirt yarn (t-yarn) baby bib. The t-yarn strips were cut really thin from an old white t-shirt and then crocheted to make a baby bib. I’m almost done with the bib and writing up the crochet pattern now. I will post the t-yarn bib and free crochet pattern next week. Until my next post, enjoy and happy crafting to all![…]
