Notes

I knitted these in the round, starting the sole with Judy’s magic cast on. I then continued knitting in the round - this required modifying the pattern a bit - I had to alternate knit rows with purl rows to get the garter stitch appearance.

I always prefer to avoid seaming whenever possible, and this worked well.

I started with the size large, as the pattern indicated that would be the size Bekky needed. It was huge! Should have checked the size before I knitted the cuff.

Frogged the large slipper and knitted her a pair of mediums. This is a much better sizing.

I’d like to try these with my handspun yarn.
