Pattern Overview
The project begins with a Tubular Cast-On, followed by a classic Dutch heel to provide a snug and secure fit. Symmetrical increases are worked along the center of the sole. The edges of the slippers are highlighted with garter stitch. The upper portion is decorated with a simple yet charming “yarn over, k2tog” lace pattern.
