Nordic Slippers

A sophisticated twist on traditional Icelandic house slippers, the Nordic Slippers are begun in the flat for the heel, and then worked in the round to the toe. Featuring a simple lace detail and I-cord finishing, the pattern is accessible and engaging for advanced beginners and experienced knitters alike. Instructions included for three adult sizes.
