Worked in one piece, the sole is knit back and forth and is HEAVILY thrummed to give extra cushioning. The sides are worked in the round and the instep is again worked back and forth with a few shortened rows to bring the back of the slipper up and leave the front lower for easy in and out!
And in case you are wondering, ‘Fingge’ simply means slippers in Swissgerman, my native tongue.

Perfect as a last minute gift and since there are 4 sizes to chose from, a great Mother/Daughter knit. Quick to make and warm to wear boot toppers are worked up in the round using bulky weight yarn for that instant gratification project.
The textured sections use an easy combinations of knit and purl stitches, allowing the cable pattern to stand out more and making this an easy project.
Wear them folded over the top of boots, or tucked inside as boot liners, or dress up that short pair of booties, your choice!
