Checkered Slippers
I love these slippers. Reminds me so much of my childhood. My grandmother made my sisters and I these checkered slippers every year for Christmas. She taught all of us girls how to knit and crochet. Now we are making the same things for our grandchildren. I am so happy that Mary Maxim still have all the same patterns after all these years.

I have made many of these and lost the pattern. Everyone who I made them for has loved them.
