Pattern description from the book:

With their floppy ears and red tongues, these slippers roll over and beg for your attention. The ears, tongues, and tails are knitted separately and sewn onto the slippers, then the slippers are felted so they will keep their shape and be warm and weatherproof. The cuffs, eyes, and noses are added after felting.
