Colorful leftover felting wool = beautiful warm felted slippers

Anyone who felts now and then knows this: small amounts are left over from all kinds of colors and color sections. What can you do with them?

I—and you too—can use them to make beautiful warm felted slippers. The leftovers are knitted stripe by stripe. Then the cuff is knitted on right away. Then the whole piece goes into the washing machine for felting. Now just pull it into shape and make it non-slip. To make them non-slip, either use standard Sock Stop or sew leather soles underneath. Everything is described in great detail in the pattern.
