Review

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. -- California Bookwatch 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. -- The Knitting Guild Association Cast On, April 2016

Review Quote

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. . . 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.
