Chunky tweed slippers

This is a pattern I have used twice, because I found the construction of the slippers really fun. At first it looked rather complicated, but the shaping of the slippers happens quite easily and naturally.
the pattern is from the book 'Knitted and crocheted slippers' by Alison Howard. There's lots of great, lovely, unusual footwear in this book. I'll make some more in the future!
For the pair in the photos I used Schachenmayr Boston wool and acrylic blend and acrylic leftover yarn in different colours held double for the soles, which makes them quite durable.
The slippers are really warm and cosy, lovely and fun to wear.

cosy and warm!
