My dear Mother-in-love taught me to make these knit slippers soon after hubby and I were married. I've made them for the entire family through the years, more than one pair. They are comfortable, and warm. They can be below the ankle, to/above the ankle, or up the calf as high as you want.
Grab a pair of needles and make some for yourself, you'll love them!
