Editorial Reviews

Sometimes the best part of the day is coming home, kicking off your shoes and sliding your feet into those comfy, stylish, knitted slippers. For those Amelda Marco's [sic] of the slipper world, Rae Blackedge has patterns of fun designs for clogs, moccasins, boots, animal slippers, loafers and more. Rae's new book is "25 Stylish Knitted Slippers". There are slippers for men, women and children from everyday to character and knit to felt. The book has a chapter on felted slippers, fun and fantasy, everyday and boots. The last chapters show you step by step, written and in photographs, how-to techniques and tutorials. If you are a new knitter, you can also read about yarn, gauge, abbreviations, sizing, reading charts... If the pattern requires a graph, the are over-sized and easy to see. 'Beatrix' is a cute pair of bunny slippers, traditional and sure to be loved. The 'Moccasin' slipper looks good enough to be worn outside. Read up on the section about adding soles and wear them out to the mailbox. Do you remember 'Mary Jane' shoes? Knit up the shoe and sock (all in one), for yourself and a little one. Slippers are a relatively quick project to knit and many can be knit from your yarn stash. They make a nice gift. Whether it is a practical or whimsical slipper you prefer, you can find it here. Your feet will thank you.

I admit, I’m a sucker for knitted slippers. They’re warm, cozy and so comfy to spend Midwestern winter evenings in, plus they make fabulous gifts. Rae Blackledge’s book of 25 slipper patterns is full of fresh ideas including felted styles (my personal favorite because of their warmth and cushy feel), socks, boots and slippers that look like shoes—even two-tone Oxfords. The toughest task will be to choose who will receive which design or whether to keep them all for myself.

Cast On, April 2016 - The Knitting Guild Association

25 Stylish Knitted Slippers: Fun Designs for Dogs, Moccasins, Boots, Animal Slippers, Loafers, & More goes beyond the usual sock-and-slipper knitting instructional to provide a range of fun projects from Night Owl Boots to clogs and boot slippers, and provides the detailed patterns and easy step-by-step photos to accompany clear instructions on how to make each project and customize the results. Knitters should have some basic skills and should know how to read basic instructions; but beyond this, the projects are relatively easy to put together and, given the directions and photos, nearly foolproof.
