Pattern Info

Calli Felted Boots »

Difficulty:

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Funky, Outdoorsy, Military


Materials

100% wool yarn, thread, closed jump rings (to hold shoelaces), soles from Simple Shoemaking

What was your inspiration?

I love making everything myself... so when I heard about Simple Shoemaking's soles that you could sew on yourself- I knew I had to design my own felted shoes.

What are you most proud of?

They're all one piece! I love that about these boots!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid of felting! It's really not that hard (I mean, how many stories have you heard about someone shrinking a sweater by accident... that's felting!). Give it a go, and you'll never look back!

My partner and I are huge into Knee-high boots. How hard would it be to adapt this pattern to go that high?

Not that hard! You'd just crochet more height on the leg (and maybe add an increase if you have big calves)
