The World's Ugliest Felted Vintage Slippers.

I found the pattern in Knit One, Felt Too!. It's very easy, and is knit on size 11 needles in a stockingnet stitch using Noro Kuriyon (#126) and then sewn together once the knitting is finished.

The stripes were made by alternating two balls of the Kureyon using each one for two rows before changing. I added the orange stitching over the seams on both the back and top of the finished slipper, I haven't yet decided what colour I will use for the second slipper.

The finished size of the slipper before felting is roughly 16 inches, and once felted should fit my size nines nicely.
