Notes

For Christmas this year almost everyone is getting Duffers with leather soles, largely because Mommy has worn through the pair I knit her in 2019.

With the 120 yards of K2 I think I can get two pairs out of three skeins (soles in one color, with the uppers in two others). We’ll see if this works!

For Andromeda’s Duffers I mashed up the Duffers and Little Duffers pattern, since I wanted to use K2 for these as well.

So I cast on 34 stitches and worked 3 garter increase rounds (4 purl ridges total) on the sole, knit one round to start the upper part; 6 sts for toe, then did k2tog, k3tog, k2tog, k3 tog (with heel decreases), k2tog (with heel decrease) and bound off. The finished slippers look like they will probably felt down to an appropriate size, so… we’ll hope for the best!
