This whimsical flower motif reminded Kristin Drysdale of the Norwegian Rosemaling paintings and her Scandinavian heritage. The slippers are named after her great-grandpa’s oldest sister.

GAUGE

Determine the needle size you need to use to get gauge. Gauge-sized needle size can vary dramatically. To make a size small slipper, use a needle one size smaller than your gauge-size needle. To make a size large slipper use a needle one size larger than your gauge-size needle.

CONSTRUCTION
These slippers are knitted from heel to toe. The stitches for the heel are cast on and knitted flat in Stockinette Stitch. Additional stitches are added for the instep, then from this point on, the slipper is knitted in the round. After the knitting is completed, the heel flap is sewn together, and the opening of the slipper is finished by working one round of double crochet (single crochet in the US). The finished slippers are then lightly felted.
