I knitted these last night for a 90 year Aunt she loves slippers of all colors.

Very cute, love the colors too. Is there a pattern that you can share. I would love to make these as little pocket books for the grands and friends. The little girls would love them for this reason. I know they are slippers but they have other uses too, just not drink from..

Thank you so much. I can see a lot of little girls having fun with these and even a few pair for the Hospital Cancer Ward..

 

[Rowena]

They knit up fast and everyone seems to love them.

 

[Deb-Babbles]

I was thinking that they might be great Easter Baskets too. Just big enough to take along..

 

[Rowena]

That would be great and what fun for them to carry with candy.

On the older ladies that like them I put in a pair of knee high hose and and a hanky. They like that.

 

[Deb-Babbles]

Great ideas for the ladies. I know a few people who can not get out of their beds at all anymore. When in their wheel chair their feet get cold. Sad to say that although the attendents are kind they do not understand just how cold they get..

I made a couple of pairs for my 97 year old aunt who is in a nursing home, she loves them so much, even wears them in bed. The staff had never seen them before and think there're great.

 

[Rowena]

They are great. I bet the staff wanted some to.

Thank you for the pattern link! These are great!

 

[amudaus]

I will be knitting a few pairs of these for different people.

They are also great for trips to wear in hotel rooms. They take up so little room in your bag, and wash up well. I have made a bunch and are fun to make..

Love the colors- what yarn did you use, please?

 

[Lalane]

They are so lovely nice colours.

 

[Rowena]

Thank you I just use red Heart 4 ply yarn. It does not take much. I can get one pair out of a skein by rewinding the yarn into 2 balls.

I also made lots of these pocketbook slippers last year. Put them out in my Christmas Boutique. It was fun to watch young people pick them up and try to figure out what they were. Of course the older ladies knew already. One gentleman bought 7 pair for his 88 year old Mother & told me she loves them but hasn't found anyone who knew how to knit them. I also used up lots of very old buttons 0n them and they look very nice that way. This pattern has been around for many years. I first found the pattern in a 1950's Workbasket. Knit on People!

 

[Metrogal]

I made six pairs of them for Christmas gifts. People LOVED them and they knit up so quickly.
