Anyone know how to make these? Got a link to a How To site? Got any in kid size 11 or 12 that you'd be willing to give away? LOL.
Looks like it would be interesting to make.

Thanks!

www.littleturtleknits.com has a felted wool mocasin pattern that is fantastic!! Not exactly what you're looking for but probably pretty close!

Oh! I didn't know i'd have to KNIT the clogs first....I don't think that is what I'm looking for. LOL. I don't knit. Also, I'm looking for free patterns/instructions because I don't have $ to buy anything.

You may not have to knit them first, but it's the easiest option. The other alternative is wet felting, for which you need a foot-sized object that stays still (the proper tool is called a last) some unspun but prepared sheeps wool, hot and cold water. Knitting, frankly, is more controllable.
I'm pretty sure craftster will have a tutorial somewhere, though.

You could sew some from existing wool fabric (like a recycled sweater). I haven't seen patterns for bigger sizes, but I have seen infant ones that you can modify. Let's see if I can find 'em. I know there was one from Martha Stewart. HTH!
