Puffalope

Puffalope slippers envelop your feet in seed-stitched bulky weight yarn for a plush and cloud-like texture. Adorned with charming buttons and a cozy cuff, Puffalope are the perfect companion for cozy evenings and indulgent lounging. 

These slippers are knitted from the cuff down. First, the cuff is knit flat and joined with an overlap. Then, the top of the foot is worked, and stitches are picked up to encircle the foot. These stitches are then worked in the round, and decreases are incorporated to shape both the toe and heel. Finally, the bottom is closed by grafting with the Kitchener stitch.

The unstretched finished foot length of these slippers is approximately 8 (8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.75)”/ 20.5 (21.5, 23, 24, 25.5, 27.5)cm.
