Warm Feet for the Holidays

We've had a few cold snaps this fall - nothing that's been long-lasting - but you can tell winter is lurking in the wings.  I don't mind being cool, except when it comes to my feet.  I like warm feet.

I've found some slipper patterns that can be made by yarn workers of each type and for many sizes.

This one is crocheted for babies.

Loom knitting makes warm slippers too.

These patterns are all from Lion Brand Yarn.  For more ideas, patterns, and designs, remember to check out www.ravelry.com, www.knittingpatterncentral.com, www.crochetpatterncentral.com, and other yarn craft websites and blogs.  One way to find exactly what you are looking for is to go to Google Images and type in knit slippers, or crochet slippers, or loom knit slippers.  Pictures will come up on the page and you can choose which you like best.  Click on the one you like and you will be taken to the website or blog where you will (not always) most likely find the pattern you are looking for.

Happy crafting - and keep those feet warm,

Kathi
