It has been many years since I have made a pair of knitted slippers and I have never made a pair for me! I learned to knit while I lived in Colorado and knitted slippers were my second ever knitted endeavor. These are a little slippery on non-carpeted floors and you could always add some leather to the bottom, but I am just careful when I walk – just like I was wearing socks.

So glad to have this pattern again. I made these years ago and they are fabulous. You can make pompoms for the top (I never did but the pattern I had showed them that way). Nice job!!
The pattern I use also has an option to add pom poms, but I have never done it. I love how cushy these are and they definitely keep my feet warm!
Look pretty comfy…Ithink I could do this! Keep those tootsies warm!
You could do these, no problem!
