Giveaway: 25 Stylish Knitted Slippers

25 stylish knitted slippers giveaway

Sandy is the winner!

My feet (and the rest of me!) are pretty much always cold, so I’m growing more and more interested in knitting socks and other coverings for my feet. I really want to knit some slippers, and if you’re feeling that way, too, this week’s giveaway is for you.

I’m giving away a copy of 25 Stylish Knitted Slippers by Rae Blackledge. The book includes all sorts of thick socks, clogs, moccasins, slippers with animal designs, loafers and more to treat your feet. Most of the patterns are sized for women, while some are also (or just) for children, and I think just one also has sizes for guys.

There are felted designs to start with (felting hides mistakes like a dream!) and lots of fun things like little kid socks with dinosaur spikes down the back, or the adorable mom and me Mary Janes on the front (which I may well have to knit for myself and the girl).

If you’d like a chance to win this book, leave a comment on this post by the end of the day Sunday, January 17. I’d love to know if you have cold feet and what you do to solve the problem, or if you’ve ever knit slippers and how you like them.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

  1. I never wear shoes in the house. In the winter I always have a pair of socks or slippers sometimes both on in the house. i would love to win this book. Thank you.

  3. Cold feet in Arizona…. I wish! But I do make socks and slippers for friends and family in cold states….
    Thanks for the opportunity to win this:)

  4. My feet are always cold, year-round, and it’s due to a medical conditon. In the winter, I have to wear knee high socks, along with warm slippers. I even own knee-high slippers for the below zero days!! At night, I wear cozy socks – even though we have an electric blanket. My feet never warm up!! If my feet don’t get warm, I’m in constant pain, and then I can’t move around when I’m awake, and I’m unable to sleep, if I’m in bed. Hope that last sentence made sense. I’m happy to have a chance to win this book!! Thank you so much, and have a great 2016!!

  7. I’m constantly knitting slippers for Mom. She wears them all the time – in and out of the house. Because of her shuffling gait and the outdoor use, they wear out quickly, no matter how sturdy the yarn.

  8. My feet are always cold and our hardwood floors makes it even harder to keep my feet warm. Slippers are a must have everyday!

  9. This time of year when I get my home from work, my feet are usuallly chilly. I always put on warm socks or my slippers. I would LOVE to wn this book.

    Thank you and hope you have a great day

  11. I live in Maine in a house built in 1768 so you know the floors are cold so this a definitely the book for me!!! :.))

  12. I’ve been sleeping with socks lately because my feet freeze at night. I love fuzzy socks the best, cozy and fashionable.

  14. My feet are not so cold but I love to knit socks, and they help a lot for sure! Never done slippers though! This must be a great book!

  17. I wear handknit wool socks all the time in the winter. Slippers would be a good idea tho – it would probably lengthen the life of my socks.

  18. This book is such a great idea… I remember my first knitting project in middle school were slippers and they are not half as cute as yours.. I would love to make some of your cute slippers and socks!

  19. My feet are always cold; if I’m sitting down I have a blanket on my lap, but that doesn’t help when I’m walking around

  20. This book is on my wish list…..I can think of a number of people that would enjoy receiving a handknit pair of slippers!

  21. My feet are sometimes cold. They’re usually hot, but I wear slippers all of the time anyway! Beats sweaty feet any day! These slippers are sooo cute!

  22. I would love this book I knit alot of socks and slippers always have someone asking for one or the other and have some on needles at all times

Christmas Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
