Notes

My uncle requested Packers slippers :)

These came out much better than my first pair. The standard width seems plenty wide, giving a comfy but snug fit. I also made changes to my tension on the “manly tab.”

Mods
c/o 70 for an in-between size, standard width.
Triple stranded sole for stability.
Knit row 2 of upper in heel color.
Omitted heel decrease in row 22.
Used basaltimum’s notes for a more manly shape.
When knitting manly tab, wrap VERY loosely, knit sts with same tension as rest of slipper, bind off VERY loosely.
