Designer’s Note: “During the cold seasons, my feet are always cold. Handknitted socks are great, but I thought it would be so nice and cozy to wrap my feet in all-over cables. By using a short-row technique and increasing the stitches in between cables, I was able to create a slipper that has a dynamic movement of cables at the toe.”

There is photo tutorial on grafting within the pattern instructions.
