Yuki Felted Boots
Explore the perfect outdoor solution with our uniquely designed felted boot pattern! The sole of this boot is not knitted, making it an ideal choice for outdoor soling adventures. The sample features durable soles from Simple Shoemaking, but you also have the option to creatively sole your boots with slipper soles for a cozy touch.
This enchanting boot design showcases a bellows-tongue pattern, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit around the leg, perfect for those chilly days. The lovely felted boots are crafted using two strands of high-quality worsted weight yarn held together, providing warmth and structure. If you're looking for a different texture, you can easily substitute one strand with chunky weight yarn, allowing for some personal flair. Remember, since these boots are felted, you'll need to select a feltable 100% wool yarn; we recommend Shepherd's Wool, the brand used in our sample.
To embark on your knitting journey, here’s a list of materials required for this delightful project:
- Approximately 450 yards of worsted weight yarn
- Size 10, 16" circular knitting needle
- Stitch holder for easy management of your stitches
- Stitch markers to keep track of your pattern
- Sewing needle and sturdy thread for finishing touches
- 16 rings/eyelets (used for holding shoelaces - we recommend 18G closed jump rings as shown in the sample)
- A piece of felt and sole (you can purchase an entire kit from Simple Shoemaking, or opt for a slipper sole from your local yarn shop [LYS] along with a piece of fabric felt)
- Laces measuring approximately 45" for a secure fit
Get ready to knit these charming felted boots that are not only functional but also a stylish addition to your outdoor wardrobe! Perfect for beginners and seasoned knitters alike, this pattern promises a fulfilling crafting experience. Enjoy the warmth and comfort of your homemade felted boots as you step out into the world.
