STRAIGHT NEEDLES SIZE 6 mm – or size needed to get 15 sts x 30
rows in garter st = 10 x 10 m before felting (approx. 20 sts x 38 rows in
garter st = 10 x 10 cm after felting).
CROCHET HOOK SIZE 7 mm - for crochet border
MEASURING TIP: It is important to have the correct knitting tension and
to be exact when measuring so that the squares are quadratic. GARTER ST
(back and forth on needle): K all rows.
SLIPPER:
The slipper is worked in one long piece in garter st and sewn tog when finished.
Read MEASURING TIP above! Cast on 16-18-20 sts on needle size 6 mm
with beige Nepal.
Work in GARTER ST - see explanation above - for 10.5-11.2-12.5cm
(= square 1), switch to light beige and work for 10.5-11.2-12.5 cm (= square 2).
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! Continue to work squares with beige
and light beige alternately until a total of 6 squares have been worked. The piece
now measures approx. 63-67.2-75 cm, cast off. Then knit up from RS 16-18-20
sts on the right side of square 2 with beige (= square 7). Work in garter st for
10.5-11.2-12.5 cm and cast off. Knit up 16-18-20 sts on the left side of square 6
with light beige (= square 8). Work in garter st for 10.5-11.2-12.5 cm and cast off.
ASSEMBLY:
Fold the slipper and sew nicely tog edge to edge as on Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows how
the squares are placed after assembly.
CROCHET BORDER:
Around the opening on the slipper, work as follows with 2 threads Puddel on hook
size 7 mm: 1 dc, * 3 ch, skip approx. 1-1½ cm, 1 dc *, repeat from *-* and finish
with 1 sl st in 1st dc at beg of round.
FELTING:
Place the slippers in the washing machine with a detergent without enzymes and
optical bleach. Wash at 40 degrees with normal spin but no pre-wash. After wash
shape the slippers to the right size while still wet and leave to dry flat. At subsequent
wash, wash the slippers at regular wool programme.
