Farm Slippers

> Mukluks have always been my favorite house slipper. Now with this pattern, they can become favorites for the whole family! Holding together two strands of sport weight yarn delivers a beautiful marled effect, with endless variations! Or you can simplify and grab a heavy worsted or aran weight yarn in a natural color for a rustic slipper. The Small and Medium Adult sizes have a taller cuff for the ladies, while the Adult Large has a shorter cuff for a more masculine look for the men! With sizes for toddlers and children, as well, you can have your whole family relaxing in comfort! *I have found that utilizing lifelines makes the Afterthought Heel even easier!
