Pin of the Week: Non-Felted Slippers

May 1, 2013 by Sarah White

non-felted slippersUsually I like to make my pin of the week something that’s educational, but I can’t get these bulky slippers out of my head, so I wanted to share them with you, too.

The non-felted slippers pattern from Yuko Nakamura Designs came across my Pinterest feed and I knew it was something I wanted to take a closer look at. I’m not even a slipper person, but I want to slip my feet into these beauties.

The good news is they take only about 100 yards of yarn and size 9 US (5.5 mm) knitting needles, so I could whip them up in almost no time flat and be warming my tootsies right away. Or you could, if you feel about them like I do.

    Thanks for the article and hope to read from you again. You put a nice twist to it. Well put Sarah.

Have you read?

Embellish Your Knit Dishcloth with Flowers

One great thing to knit when the weather is warm (or honestly any other time) is dishcloths and washcloths. They are fun and easy projects and a great way to play with new skills. Pretty washcloths make cleaning a tiny bit more fun, and they’re great to have on hand as a quick addition to a store-bought gift. 

The Daisy Delight Dishcloth from Yarnspirations is a fun one for using leftover bits of green in your cotton yarn stash. What looks like the bottom in the picture is actually the left side as you knit it, and each little color section is worked with its own ball of yarn, intarsia style. 

That’s a little fiddly for a washcloth, but the effect is cute, and it’s a simple way to learn the basics of intarsia knitting (as well as reading a chart) if you don’t already have those skills. 

One the knitting is done, you add the flowers with a bit of lazy daisy embroidery, which is really easy to do even if you’re not that into embroidery. You could also potentially add flowers in duplicate stitch if you’d rather. 

This may be the most work you’ve put into a dishcloth, but isn’t it adorable? It would be fun to use as a hand towel through the spring and summer, and if you already have some leftover green yarn from other projects it should be pretty easy to do. 

You could also take this same concept and make it different colors. All dark green stems with stars on top might be reminiscent of Christmas trees, or brown with daisy stitch on top in different colors could be trees in the fall. 

However you stitch it, this looks like a fun little project for knitters who are comfortable with intarsia and reading charts or who are ready to try those skills. 

You can grab the free pattern from Yarnspirations.
