The Design

“Shoes off, slippers on!”

A basket near the front door heaped with these Family Slippers makes for the warmest of welcomes. Our version of these nostalgic slippers evolved from several versions of the pattern found in every auntie’s knitting bag. We finessed the toe a little, but left the heel in its simplest form. Embellish your slippers with pompoms, tassels, or buttons—or try our split cuff for a preppy, Oxford shirt look!

We chose to knit our slippers in worsted-weight Berroco held double throughout. This means double the durability, double the cushy comfort! Ultra Wool—a 100% superwash wool—has a nice, 4-ply twist that’s sturdy and machine washable without compromising a bouncy softness.
