Here's my making of the Sandesgarn DOBLE TØFLER Felted slipper socks. This is a free pattern in Norwegian that I've knitted and felted.

Special thanks to @knittingtraditions for her verbal translation to help knit these.
Here's how I did mine (second largest size)
- Cast on 78 sts using 5.5mm needles and join in the round (using Judy's magic cast on)
- Knit for 29 rounds of st st
- Put half the stitches (39 sts) on hold
- Cast on additional 6 sts at centre of work, placing st marker either side of these sts and continue to work on these 45 sts
- Work 6 rounds st st
- K2 tog each side of newly cast on sts (at st markers), knitting together one old st and one new st
- K 5 rounds without shaping
- K2 tog each side of newly cast on sts (at st markers), again knitting together one old st and one new st
- K 24 rounds without shaping
- Decrease 1 st in following row
- Decrease for toe at four points as for a sock toe (K1, k2tog, k to last 3 sts on that side of food, K2tog, K1)
- K 1 round without shaping
- Repeat last 2 rounds until 24 sts remain
- K2tog 12 times (12 sts remain)
- K1, K2tog 4 times (8 sts remain)
- Pull yarn through remaining stitches
- Pick up sts on hold, and pick up 6 sts at base where new sts were previously cast on
- Work front foot as same for first
- Felt away
