From the description: Who needs to sacrifice style for comfort? At the heel of fashion, these up-to-the-minute fashion booties were inspired by traditional Australian sheepskin boots called “uggs”. These one-of-a-kind booties are easy to hand-crochet in single and half-double crochet stitch; a faux-fur trim lends an authentic touch.
