Christmas Slipper

from Peterson's Magazine December 1860

 


Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the Victorian enthusiast or Civil War reenactor? This pattern for a "Christmas Slipper" from a 1860 women's magazine would be the perfect Christmas gift ... either make it yourself or supply the yarn for an unusual Christmas gift.


Pattern for Christmas Slipper: 

This pattern is intended to represent a vase and flowers. A pair of slippers, worked in this style, would make a very suitable New Year's or Christmas Gift. The fruit and flowers are to be worked in colored silk, to imitate nature: the vase in gold color and green.  
[Peterson's Magazine, Dec. 1860]
