This vintage 40s pattern is so useful and economical as all items are made from oddments of yarn or cloth (see below). It consists of two styles of slippers and a wellington sock, with the buttoned slipper (top left of photo) being knitted, the tie boot being crocheted and the wellington sock knitted (which could also be used as a bedrock or slippers, according to the pattern!) and any of which would make a lovely gift or treat for a young child (see below for ages etc.). Regards the wool used, as vintage yarns were heavier than modern, you may want to substitute the vintage 3-ply for a modern 4-ply and a vintage 4-ply for a modern D/K to obtain a similar size as quoted in the pattern.
