Hats, scarves, and Mittens have always been the items we make and donate. We knit them, we crocheted and some are good at looming them too. Let's add slippers to the list of items needed. Specifically slippers for women and children. Slippers will be directed towards those mothers and children in temporary housing at Faith Mission. Faith Mission is new part of our mission. These women and children are living in temporary apartments. They come with very little, as many were homeless prior to this; and many were abused. Slippers would be a nice addition to help warm them, and let them know they're cared for.
Knitted, crocheted, washable slippers. As with our hats, scarves, and mittens the choice of yarn and pattern and color is yours. Let's just please stick to making them warm and shy aware from lacy, light patterns and yarns.
I made the above slippers some time back for Pine Ridge Reservation, but thought we needed a picture to get us started. There really is no pattern for this, I used 2 rectangles I had, folded them, stitched them, edged and made it up as I went. I will write a little tutorial on this and add to the tab along with some links for slipper patterns. Please check back.

Have you read about "Give a Square"
Please remember all donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated, and all donations keep someone warm. We help, one stitch at a time. It truly DOES make a difference. THANK YOU!
I want a pair of these, they look really comfy. I'll check back for your more detailed instructions on all how to make these slippers. I think they would make great Christmas presents. Probably don't use alot of yarn?
