Keep little toes warm with these slippers modelled after the classic hunting sock. The folded cuff keeps the slipper on the foot while kids walk, run, and skate across the floor. The slipper is first knit flat then joined to work in the round for the toe. The cuff stitches are picked up and worked in the round and then folded over, with options to add buttons for embellishment.
