Sørine Slippers are my twentieth Slipper pattern. I am so excited to share these slippers with you! I have already made three pairs of slippers, and I made each pair with a different DK-weight yarn. The first pair, I made with the beautiful Selkirk Worsted by Fleece and Harmony. The second pair I made with Shelter by Brooklyn Tweed, and the third pair I made with Rauma Strikkegarn. All three slippers are lovely. I hope you love making these slippers for yourself or your loved ones.
