A cozy set of worsted weight house slippers that are reminiscent of Hüttenschuhe – ankle high slippers, traditionally worn in the house after you’ve taken off your skiis or hiking boots and are warming your feet by the fire. While Hüttenschuhe are usually found with a felt or leather sole, these handknit ones have a double thick knit garter stitch sole. They are sure to keep your feet warm as the snow falls outside, but for extra warmth leather slipper bottoms can be sewn on.

Width is adjustable.
