A little research on the topic of Turkish slippers will yield information on two types of slippers: slip-on scuffs with upturned toes, and hand-knitted beauties worked in stranded colorwork patterns.

This pair combines both styles. Scuffs are fun to knit because there’s only the toe and flat sole to make. A little stuffing keeps those pointy toes headed skyward, and smooth knitted cord finishes the edges.

Soft insoles pad the bottoms, while deer-hide soles protect them. A sweet treat for your favorite feet!
