Cute, comfortable, and cushy! Construction for these mirror-image slippers starts with the toe, and features a super soft double-knit sole to keep your feet extra toasty. After the sole is completed, each slipper is finished with a stylish basket weave inspired band that will gently hug your ankle like your new best friend. Add some personalized flair to your pair by knitting the bands from a contrasting color, or by adding decorative buttons or bling where the band overlaps.

Sock-aholic® Brewski is dyed by hand at our brewery using a wonderfully soft 4-ply Luxury Worsted Yarn made from 100% Fine Merino Superwash. Each 100g skein contains approximately 190 yards, and knits at a gauge of 5-6 stitches per inch using size 5-7 needles. This yarn is soft as a cloud, yet durable enough to make fabulous garments that you’ll want to wear right next to your skin.

This yarn may be machine washed in cool water using a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Roll in a towel to remove excess water (do not twist or wring), and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
