  • This episode is dedicated to only one project - the slippers - being very popular among my friends. And perfect for a Christmas or Birthday gift. If you are a beginner knitter and/or just like me need a helping hand figuring our this pattern I will take you by the hand and guide you through the pattern step by step as kind of a knitalong. From cast on until you have the finished felted slipper. So this episode is kind of like a real-time-show of my knitting and felting. So as you can see it will take you a couple of days with focused knitting - and then the drying for a day or two.
    If you like the knitting science of felting, I have included a bit of my learnings. What is felting? What happens to the fabric? Which are the parameters influencing felting? And final discussions on the results of the incremental felting rounds made.
    Please share your experience with felting of these slippers - or felting in general. I am so curious to learn more.
    You can find more short clips of the slipper overview and tips & tricks in my following videos:

    Sandnes Garn - Double Slippers (Doble tøfler) free pattern:
    www.sandnes-garn.com/mpattach...
    PATTERN GAUGE: 15 sts x 20 rows
    As the pattern is written in rows and not cm or inches - it is very important to check your own row gauge (of your yarn and knitting tension) to get the correct sizing of your slipper. If you are off row-gauge just apply your correction factor. An example - e.g. if your row gauge is 24 rows per 10cm/4 inches; then multiply your row count by 1.2 = 24/20. If the pattern calls for 27 rows you then need 27 x 1.2 = 32 rows.
    MY MODIFICATION to avoid seeming of the heel: I use the Turkish cast-on method (double cast-on). If you would like to see the difference it makes in the felted heels, then have a look in my episode 19 - timestamp 22:55: • Felted Pearl Hat, New ...
    MY MODIFICATIONS to get a higher heel cap (EU Size 37) and larger "ancke hole":
    1) CO 42 "rounds" on the two needles as a Turkish cast on corresponding to 84 stitches (sts). (the 84 sts are more than the pattern calls for to get the higher heel cap)
    2) Knit 30 rounds before decreasing the heel cap. (more rounds than the pattern calls for to get a larger hole for the foot "to enter" the slipper).
    3) Place markers: Knit 21 sts (K21), place marker (PM), K42, PM, K21. End of Round (EOR). (important to center the decreases around the ankle).
    4) *Make heel cap decreases before and after each marker: K2tog, slip marker (SM), SSK
    Knit one round* Repeat from * to * 3 times. Now in total 36 rounds have been knitted before separation into two feet.
    5) After the last round of the heel cap decreases, place one half on the stitches on another circular needle (36 sts). The first stitch on the new needle is the stitch above the last SSK stitch.
    6) CO 2x 8 sts. You now have in total 44 sts on each of the circular needles for each foot before the new ankle decreases on top of the foot.
    7) Knit 6 rounds, make ankle decreases as in the pattern, Knit 5 rounds, make decreases as in the pattern. After the decreases I have 40 sts on the needles.
    8) Knit 20 rounds (in total 17 cm from the ankle cast on)
    MY TOE MODIFICATION:
    Distribute your stitches evenly on 4 dpn’s. You start decreasing for the toe on front/center of the ankle/foot (EOR)
    DECREASES STEP 1:
    *
    Round 1. Knit until 3 sts left on your needle, k2tog, k1
    Round 2: k1, ssk, knit to end of needle
    Round 3: like row 1
    Round 4: like row 2
    Round 5: knit 1 round without decreases
    *
    Repeat ** until there are 24 sts (6 sts on each dpn)
    DECREASES STEP 2:
    Round 1: k3, k2tog, k1
    Round 2: k1, ssk, k2
    Round 3: knit 1 round without decreases
    There are now 16 sts left (4 sts on each needle)
    DECREASES STEP 3:
    Round 1: ssk, k2tog
    There are now 8 sts left (2 sts on each needle)
    Cut the yarn and bind off by pulling the yarn through the remaining stitches.

      If you are decreasing to your initial count of 76 you need to decrease 8 times. But you said we achieve the heel decreases by decreasing in 3 rounds and 3 plain stockinrtte rounds in between. This is confusing to me...on each round you decrease 4 times right? You have to put a stitch marker on both sides... every 21 stitches. I have knitted up to this point and can’t move forward. Would appreciate the help. Thx

    felting rather happens from changes of temperature (hot to cold and cold to hot) as well as from friction, that is why it is good to put it together with some other at least one peace of garment.

    Hello, I have made something similar. I used the inexpensive Lion Brand Fisherman's yarn, and it felts very well. I made them just like regular socks, but the pattern was easy for me as I have made numerous pairs of socks. I felted mine in the washing machine .. i had to keep checking the size. You can pull the felted slipper into a slightly larger shape and bring the toe more to a point for shaping. Takes about 4 days to dry. I will enjoy trying this method next :) My pattern was called 'Fuzzy Feet"

    The best is to use merino wool, but with no superwash. Icelandic wool is hard to felt but possible. You can also use your dryer ;😊 use the wool dryer balls to cast on the felting items.Use a large plastic bag if you don't want to clean after wards 😂 When felting wool and silk the dryer is used 😊

    • @IngesKnittingLab
      @IngesKnittingLab  7 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you so much for sharing, Anna. 🌹 It makes sense that the softer and more crimpier wool like merino is better for felting. I guess I will also dare use the dryer with wool balls the next time. I already look forward to experimenting more and optimizing the felting time. 🌞

      5) After the last round of the heel cap decreases, place one half on the stitches on another circular needle (36 sts). The first stitch on the new needle is the stitch above the last SSK stitch.
      6) CO 2x 8 sts. You now have in total 44 sts on each of the circular needles for each foot before the new ankle decreases on top of the foot.
      7) Knit 6 rounds, make ankle decreases as in the pattern, Knit 5 rounds, make decreases as in the pattern. After the decreases I have 40 sts on the needles.

    If you want to felt shoes by hand, I use so called green soap, the smell is not nice haha but works good😊 You use a very hot water and cast it like crazy, and put hot water again and again course it will felt faster! You end by taking the soap out with warm water and the finish with ice cold water ;)

      Wow, thanks for your valuable tips. 🌹 I can see now, that I have been far too cautious in my felting process 😂 I can speed up the next time with a much larger temperature change.

    Hej Inge. En lille detalje. Jeg har gjort som dig og slået flere masker op til hælkap. Jeg har strikket et par helt efter opskriften og kan godt se, at hælen kan virke lidt lav. Du tager ind på begge sider vel? Eller? Du siger det nemlig ikke og jeg kan ikke se det. Men omkring midten på begge sider af de 40 masker indtil samme maskeantal som i opskriften - eller ?

    I’m curious to know if you knitted the total rounds for the heel that the pattern calls for and then did you decrease before separation of the foot? Or did you begin your decrease 6 rows ahead so that after decreasing you had the rows indicated for your size slipper?
    Hope that makes sense😂

    • @IngesKnittingLab
      @IngesKnittingLab  6 месяцев назад +1

      It makes full sense 😘 The pattern calls for 27 rounds (heel) before the separation. I did 30 rounds and then + 6 rounds of decreases - so in total 9 rounds more than the pattern for the heel. Remember, I used DROPS Alaska and not Sandnes Fritidsgarn. I find that all DROPS brands felt much more than Fritidsgarn at the same washing parameters. And I really needed more space for the ankle. 🤣

    I have watched the part where you divide into two feet sooo many times, and I can not understand how you do it. After the double cast on part, which one of the sticks do you use to knit the 8 added stitches? It just wont work for me...

    • @IngesKnittingLab
      @IngesKnittingLab  5 месяцев назад

      Hi Sandra,
      Yes, this double cast-on on the ankle is a bit tricky. I pull the upper needle to continue working on the first foot. The lower needle is connected to the other foot with stitches on rest. I hope this works out for you. Otherwise, you can skip my modification and do a more simple backloop cast-on method as suggested in the pattern. Good luck with your project 🤞

    Hey Inge, first of all thanks for this tutorial. I like the way you went deep in the physics behind the felting… very nice. However, I am having an issue. I am knitting a size 39 European and according to the English translation of the pattern I was supposed to cast on 76 sts so I followed your steps by casting on 84. The issue is that when starting the decreases for the heel. It is not clear to me if you decreased on both front and back of your knitting and placed one marker every 42 sts and did the *k2tog, slipped marker and slp slp knit after marker * two times every round resulting in 4 decreases per round… because you said, that you knitted 6 Rounds in total counting the in between rounds of simple stockinette, ending up with the initial count of 76 sts … this doesn’t add up and I am stuck now trying to figure this one out. I would really appreciate the help. I am excited to finish this project :) yours are so pretty with the higher heel. ❤

      MY MODIFICATIONS to get a higher heel cap (EU Size 37) and larger "ankle hole":
      1) CO 42 "rounds" on the two needles as a Turkish cast on corresponding to 84 stitches (sts). (the 84 sts are more than the pattern calls for to get the higher heel cap)
      2) Knit 30 rounds before decreasing the heel cap. (more rounds than the pattern calls for to get a larger hole for the foot "to enter" the slipper).
      3) Place markers: Knit 21 sts (K21), place marker (PM), K42, PM, K21. End of Round (EOR). (important to center the decreases around the ancle).
      4) *Make decreases before and after each marker: K2tog, slip marker (SM), SSK
      Knit one round* Repeat from * to * 3 times.
      Now in total 36 rounds have been knitted before separation into two feet.
      5) CO 2x 8 sts
      6) Knit 6 rounds, make decreases as in the pattern, Knit 5 rounds, make decreases as in the pattern.
      6) Knit 20 rounds (in total 17 cm from the ancle cast on)
      From here on I follow the pattern for the toe.
      I really hope this makes sense otherwise send me a gmail or a new comment :-)

      @@IngesKnittingLab hello Inge, thanks for the fast reply. Yep, it definitely helped when you are specifying that 30 rows in the beginning make up for a larger hole.. I frogged back there to stick to the pattern for that part. And the tunesian cast on was a very clever choice.. thanks for the explanation. I am excited 😊

    PS. Jeg laver stadig magic loop i tået. For den store størrelse med 44 masker placerer jeg bare markører mellem 11. og 12. maske i stedet for 4 pinde og tager ind som opskriften siger. Det fungerer OK :) Og gælder også for andre størrelser selvfølgelig

    I'm already confused (I struggle to understand patterns) - why did you only cast on 42 stitches if it asked for 84 stitches?

    • @IngesKnittingLab
      @IngesKnittingLab  5 месяцев назад

      Hi Emma, I understand you - it is confusing. I use a Turkish double cast on method winding the yarn 42 times around two needles which will end up being 84 stitches when I start knitting 🧶 I hope this makes sense. Maybe also looking up a short video on the Turkish cast on method would be helpful for you. Good luck with your project 🧶

      Hej Tina, mener du sy sammen i hælen? Jeg har lavet en modifikation til mønsteret, hvor der ikke sys sammen i hælen. Det undgår jeg ved at lave et dobbeltopslag, som jeg viser i videoen.
      Hvis du ønsker at se metoden i oprindeligt mønster, så skal jeg lige lave en ny teststrik iht mønsteret for at vise sammensyning bag på hælen.😊

      @tinajensen8081 Hej Tina, det er desværre ikke lykkedes mig at lave en usynlig syning. Inden filtningen er syningen nærmest usynlig, men efter filtningen så ses den. Jeg tænker det skyldes forskellig spænding af garnet omkring syningen ift en strikket maske. Måske det vil hjælpe dig at se en kort video fra en instruktør som viser et dobbeltopslag? Giv ikke op teknikken. Det tog også mig lidt til at lære den. Held og lykke med det. 🤞

      Hi Miranda, @mirandavikanderson6958
      If you are in the pattern where I think you are - separating the two socks - I think the pattern wants you decrease only 2 times.
      You have 44 stitches. Decrease by 2 sts. Knit 5 rounds (without decreases). Decrease by 2 stitches = 40 sts.
      I hope this helps you 😊
