The unique construction of the Squall Slippers creates a cable wrapping around the leg and an extra-cody double-thick cuff. With all of the intricate knitting at the beginning creating the cuff, the foot is simple and fast. Knitted in worsted weight yarn held double, the foot is a sturdy fabric resulting in lots of cushion to cradle your feet.
