Shumard Footies
These deeply textured and cabled slippers follow a simple yet fun pattern that is easy to customize for your perfect size.
Knitted with a worsted weight tweed wool yarn; they feature an intuitive cabled pattern that makes for quick & pleasant knitting.
Slippers are knitted in rows beginning with the soles, which are a double layer of fabric. Stitches are then picked up around all sides and worked in the round to the top. A contrasting i-cord edging adds a finishing touch.
This is an intermediate pattern, you need to be able to pick up stitches, work basic cables and decrease while working in pattern.
