Pattern Description

You may not find “fooshies” in the dictionary, but you’ll find them on the feet of the best dressed babies. What else would you call these soft, warm slippers with stretchy cuffs? The straps are optional, and so are the suede soles. Felting helps them keep their shape--you knit them oversized, then wash them in hot water until they reach the size you want.
