Norwegian motif women’s slippers are fun to make, fun to wear, and fun to give away.

A fairly fast knit—in the round with double-pointed needles and single piece construction, Else Slippers are perfect for chilly nights or frosty mornings. They feature 2-color stranded knitting, double-point knitting in the round, back and forth knit and purl work, a crocheted edge, and embroidery.

Knit with Rauma Strikkegarn. In winter, I believe in adding color through out my house and clothing to brighten up the long winter nights.I love this Folk-art snowflake embellished with embroidery . It reminds me of Rosemaling.
