What's this?
When folded, the slippers look like a rectangle, tapering on the sides into two triangles with long ties. The rectangle is folded in two and sewn along the edges. Triangles wrap around the ankle and secure with ties.

What yarn to choose?
Wool is the best thing to keep warm. This is a natural material that allows the skin to breathe, and also reliably retains heat. Wool with a small admixture of acrylic, with 50% acrylic or 100% acrylic yarn is a more economical option, but it will not warm as well.

Fur insoles are perfect as additional insulation. And by sewing on the sole of leather or other durable material, you will increase the durability and practicality of slippers.
