Thrummed Slipper Boot, worked from the sole up, with a fair isle cuff. This is the child’s version of my popular adult sized Thrummed Slipper Boot. Thrum is worked into the knitting from the sole and up until the beginning of the ribbed cuff, making it fully lined They are knitted on two needles and then sewn up in the middle. Four charts are provided in the pattern; charts for: snowflake, diamond, hearts, as well as a chart for the musical notes. You can really personalize the slippers by choosing or creating your own chart to fit the recipient. Have a sports fan? Choose a sport themed chart; you get the idea. It makes a very warm slipper, and they make great gifts.

Also available the adult version (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/thrummed-slipper...)
