There’s something about fulling knitted things that just thrills me. (When I’m doing it on purpose, that is – we’re not going to talk about that lovely cashmere sweater that now fits the dog.) The transformation is magical – you start with a big floppy wool sock that would be at home inside a clown shoe, add some hot water and suds and a bit of scrubbing and what do you get?

A dainty little pair of slippers.

Yarn: Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool

Pattern: just a monstrous big sock foot, with some short rows added behind the heel and an I-cord bind-off
