Farm Slippers
Mukluks have always been my favorite house slipper. Now with this pattern, they can become favorites for the whole family! Holding together two strands of sport weight yarn delivers a beautiful marled effect, with endless variations! Or you can simplify and grab a heavy worsted or aran weight yarn in a natural color for a rustic slipper. The Small and Medium Adult sizes have a taller cuff for the ladies, while the Adult Large has a shorter cuff for a more masculine look for the men! With sizes for toddlers and children, as well, you can have your whole family relaxing in comfort!
I have found that utilizing lifelines makes the Afterthought Heel even easier! Check outthis video* for a visual!*
