Feminine Knit Slipper Pattern

Knitted house slippers are best with a touch of elegance.

If the word "extra" doesn't even begin to describe you, these might be the perfect knit slippers for you. This Feminine Knit Slipper Pattern boasts an adorable trio of roses on each foot, and a cute eyelet design along the toes for a girly touch. These are the kinds of slippers that you don't need to feel embarrassed about walking outside with to get the mail or the morning paper, because they look like something you could wear outside of the house! We'd bet you could even go to work in these... but maybe you'd better not try.

These slippers are gorgeous and so elegant. I could easily give these as a birthday or holiday gift, perhaps with matching pajamas or a robe. Those roses are adorable!
