Slippers in single crochet ([Figure 245]).
One skein of each of two contrasting colours of Germantown wool, one pair of soles. For making these slippers in mercerized Perle cotton, which is very cool for warmer days, two balls will be required.
In making slippers it is very essential for the work to be as tight as possible to prevent it from stretching.
