Mossy Kindle Envelope

Craig's Slippers

On this snow day, I sat down to knit my husband a pair of slippers he requested a long time ago. We looked through the Ravelry database and couldn't find anything with the boxy shape that he liked. I had already bought some Lion Brand Thick and Quick in Charcoal, so I sat down to shape him a slipper that would fit and be warm for the rest of this Maine winter. Bonus with the yarn, it's machine washable, so when it gets caked with animal hair (of which we have 2), it can get thrown in the wash and come out looking like new!

If you have smaller or larger feet, add or remove rows between 34 and 78. My husband has size 10 feet (mens). That equates to about 10" of foot.
