Where we live the weather is still bouncing back and forth between winter and spring, and even in the summer, the nights and mornings can be cool.
It’s a time of year when you want warm toes but refuse to wear anything that even remotely hints at winter. These slippers will keep you warm, yet celebrate the happy flower season. Sidse Slippers are knit back and forth at the heel, and then joined in the round. They are knit with dark blue and white, and then the light blue is added with a duplicate stitch.
Fun to make, fun to wear, fun to give away.
Happy Spring knitting!
