This pattern is from my Great Grandma. She’s been gone for almost 10 years now but everyone misses her slippers! One day, while I was looking thru my moms RECIPE box, I found the pattern. (yes, I said RECIPE box! My mom has been gone since I was 15, but I still find things in the oddest places from her) Anyway… I tried and tried to make the slippers from the pattern.. but they just weren’t coming out right. Finally one day, I asked a friend of the family if she happened to have the correct pattern. And she did! Now they are coming out perfectly! Don’t tell my Aunts, but they are all getting a pair for Christmas!
I know they look weird, but TRUST me, they stretch to fit.
