Slipper For The Ages


Slippers For The Ages


 I used a size K hook and worked with Jute Cord for the sole (to make the soles hard), then I used Big Twist for the insoles but I used two pieces yarn to make the inside soft. Here is the pattern I used for this slipper

 
 I also used two pieces of yarn for the top of the slipper and I used Big Twist.

Now my slipper have a hard sole and will last longer, there also nice and soft inside.
