I started off 2015 making slippers. Here is the link to the slipper pattern!
I had made a pair once before but I wanted to revisit this pattern again. When I went looking through my yarn stash, I pulled out a few different acrylic yarns (my usual go to yarn) but nothing was striking me. The last pair I made was done in wool just like the pattern suggested but I didn't have much wool on hand. I really didn't want to buy new yarn...after all, my goal was to work through my stash. Finally I pulled out a cotton yarn and thought to myself, "Why not?"

So I dove right in! Since my yarn was thicker (and I have fairly small feet) I adjusted the pattern down a little. I chose an acrylic to go around the top and then finished it off with some buttons I have been saving for a rainy day.
So naturally, I am wearing them around the house this weekend and my 3 year old sees them. She asked for a pair in pink. Challenge accepted!
I scaled them down once more and used a smaller hook. She didn't want a strap on hers. Don't they look adorable?!
