Giveaway: 25 Stylish Knitted Slippers

by

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

Knit and Felt Some Tabi Style Slippers

The felted slipper craze that began last year doesn’t seem like it’s fading away. The Sailor Slippers, often striped knit and felted slippers made with super bulky yarn, because the project of the moment late last year (check out more knit slipper options in this post all about sailor slippers) and they’re still consistently popular with knitters.

Which makes sense because they are fun and fast to knit, and seeing them go from this giant thing to something that actually fits a foot feels a little magical. 

I have always loved felting (in fact my first book was about felting knitting) and it’s always fun for me to see people rediscover this technique. 

If you’ve knit enough plain slippers to fit all the feet you know, maybe it’s time to stitch up some tabi style slippers instead. 

Maymade Knits has designed these cute tabi ballerina slippers, made with bulky yarn and felted. They’re worked flat at first and then in rounds, and are available in 10 EU sizes (the Internet tells me add 31 to your American shoe size to get your EU size). The designer says the slippers are meant to have a close fit and you should choose a size a little smaller than your foot for the ideal fit. 

The pattern includes a video tutorial along with the written pattern. 

You can grab this pattern on Ravelry. The same designer has her own version of the striped felted slipper as well, called Sarah’s Striped Slippers. These are worked in super bulky yarn and have a contrasting foot and a striped body. These are knit flat and seamed and there are 7 size options available. Check that pattern out here if you’re looking for a more traditional slipper shape. They also look roomier so you can wear them with socks if you like.
