south marysburgh slippers

I first knit these slippers on a colder-than-usual summer vacation in Prince Edward County back in 2014. Named after the South Marysburgh location where we were staying, the slipper design is simple and tailored, quick enough to knit over a day or two, and super cozy on a pair of chilly feet. The original pattern was for only one size, and I’ve been meaning to add to it for years. Three new sizes are now included and the pattern has been tech-edited so that my early mistakes have been found - and fixed. :)

A PDF of the improved pattern is available here.
