Larch Slippers
Larch Slippers are a DK weight version of the Larch Peds, for when you want a squishy warm slipper sock!
Larch Slippers have a lined cuff, arch shaping, a princess sole and utilize Lola’s Pick Up line for a no-fuss heel flap! These are some well fitting slippers that are sized for the whole family!
There are two main construction differences between the Larch Peds and Larch Slippers:
- The cuff lining is worked in stockinette stitch not ribbing.
- The sole is worked with the purl stitches to the outside so that the smooth knit stitches connect with the sole of your foot. This is known as a princess sole, and is lovely in larger gauge knit socks.
