Bunny Hop Slippers

Have you heard of thrumming? We hadn’t. Pieces of unspun wool are knitted into the pattern to create texture and warmth inside the slippers – fluffy goodness to keep your toes toasty. Of course you don’t have to include the thrumming or make these into bunnies, but just use the basic pattern to make knit yourself or a little girl you love some lovely cosy slippers.
