You can't see the cable too well in this picture but it runs all the way around the edge of the slipper to the front, looks lovely!Needles: 5.5mm
Yarn: Stylecraft Life Chunky (Blue Haze)
Size made: UK 6.5
These slippers are quite broad to fit my feet, you may want to reduce the amount of stitches in the middle 'knit' section if you find it too wide.
