Mom's Old Patterns

I looked on Ravelry for slipper patterns, but I didn't find any that impressed me. Not free ones, anyway. However, I did find some that were almost as good as the ones my mom used to make. Eventually, I realized that I might as well follow Mom's pattern instead of these Johnny-come-lately Ravelry ones. (No offense to anyone - I'm just amused that what's old is new, etc., etc.)

So I dug up the old notes that Mom gave me several years back, typed them up in Word, and then thought I might as well take some pictures of the old notes because, hey, mimeograph. Ancient typewriter. And an excellent glove schematic which really, really helps, because I can't read the shorthand her actual notes on the gloves are written in.

Forthwith, pictures for posterity:
