My dad also asked for a pair of felted slippers for Christmas. He said that when he was younger (like WAY back in the 70s) he'd owned a pair of gray felted slippers and he'd liked them so much, he'd worn them until they fell apart. So he wanted me to re-create them.
For dad's slippers I used 2 skeins of Patons Classic Wool in dark gray from Michaels, a J hook, and the felted men's slip-ons pattern (found here on ravelry and here). Like mom's slippers, after I had crocheted the slippers, I washed the slippers in the washing machine 3 times on hot in order to felt the slippers.
