Pattern
Notes: House Slippers
from Knit
2 Together
This
was a quick and easy project that only took me about 4-5 hours
in total. They blue pair will be a Christmas gift for my uncle.
The green is for my brother. The pattern in the book shows them
with embroidery and/or felted flowers, but when I saw the eclipse
multi colorway, I thought it would be great for the top of the
slippers all by itself. For the green pair, I just stitched
(before felting) a little argyle pattern with the darker green
as an accent. I also made the green pair longer by a couple
of rows.
I
made the pink pair for myself during my Christmas 2006 vacation.
