Warm their feet and hearts with these beautiful, quick knit slippers!
Knit in one piece, each slipper starts at the back heel and works its way forward with nice cables along the sides. Then, the stitches are joined in the round and finished on DPNs. A super sweet twisted stitch heart decorates the top of each slipper.
Minor seaming at the back heel and that's it! Plus, only one skein of yarn needed (assuming you reuse the gauge swatch yarn for size L). Makes a great gift idea for Valentine's or just anytime.

I knit at an average speed, and finished these slippers the day after I started.

The pattern is easy to read. I have not had the time or the weather to knit them yet but looking forward to getting out the needles when the weather cools down.

These slippers were challenging yet quick easy to make. I used Red Heart Super Bulky Light & Lofty that was on sale to test the pattern. The design does not show well due to the texture and color of the yarn. Looking forward to knitting a pair in another yarn. My only complaint is when you begin the section in the round and round 7 is round 2 of the heart motif, round 8 is round 3 of the heart motif ... my poor brain! I renumbered the heart motif rounds to correspond.
