Ribbed Slippers

This is my all time favorite slipper pattern. It is NOT one of my patterns, but my all time favorite, These are slippers I make for Christmas each year.

This is the original site this pattern could be found at, HOWEVER, it is closed down now, so I'm sharing from my printed copy...

~~~~~~~~~~

These slippers fit my feet with sock on and I wear a size 9. (Read not at bottom of page) If you wear a different size (as I JMSQ do)  you will need to either decrease or increase the number of rows on round 4-17. These slippers are very warm and the ribbing at the top keeps your ankles warm too. Enjoy.
