SLIPPER SOCKS
Easy to knit, easy to wear slipper socks. For big children and adults. You can use bulky yarn, or hold DK weight double. For the little colorwork, you can use leftover yarns. You can make the soles extra thick and sturdy, if you add a strand of sock weight yarn.
The pattern is inspired by the Nola’s slippers: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/nolas-slippers, a free pattern for adults.
