You won’t believe how popular gifted handknitted slippers are–and you can make them easily!

There is something incredibly luxurious about a beautiful pair of slippers.

How many times does one go out strictly to buy a pair of slippers? One might pick a pair up on impulse, but they’re unlikely to be truly luxurious. They might keep your feet warm, but will they feel like heaven on your feet? Not likely.

But! A handknitted pair of slippers are another matter entirely! I used to knit my father a new pair of slippers every Christmas, and he loved them. I’ve also received knitted slipper requests from many friends over the years.

So, if you’re looking for a unique gift for a friend or relative that will cause their eyes to light up, I highly recommend a gift of knitted slippers.
