ASSEMBLY:
Crochet 8 squares for each slipper and sew them tog, edge to edge as shown in fig-1.
Fig-2 shows the slipper after it has been sewn tog – NOTE: by arrows in fig-2 (i.e. in corner mid upper foot and in corner mid back on heel) do not sew tog the ch-loops, i.e. leave a small opening, otherwise it will be difficult to put the slipper on.

FELTING:
Wash slippers in the washing machine with a detergent free of enzymes and optical bleach. Wash at 40 degrees with normal spin, but without pre-wash. After wash form the slipper to the right size whilst still wet and leave to dry. At subsequent washes wash slippers at a wool programme.
NOTE: If the slippers haven’t felted enough, wash them again. If they have felted too much, soak them until thoroughly wet and pull them to desired length.
