Boot slippers cover the ankle as well as the foot, which is exactly where cold air gets in. These are worked with two strands of yarn held together, so the fabric is thick and holds its shape, and they fit a 9 to 10 inch foot. If you need another size, there is a version of the same pattern with re-sizing instructions.
