Sumo Slippers for the Girls

I just finished 2 pairs of the Sumo Slippers, one pair each for Donella and Justina. Justina’s are red; Donella’s are green. The Sumo pattern is by Judy Sumner in her book, “Knitted Socks East and West: 30 Designs Inspired by Japanese Stitch Patterns”.

The socks are worked up in Lion Brand’s Wool East Thick & Quick. They’re worked with a smaller needle than usual, making the slipper nice and dense. With this size yarn, they work up really quickly. This is definitely a slipper, not a sock. The girls love the idea. I suspect Donella will lounge around in them well into the summer as cold as that child stays!
