"Going Green" Slippers

These are the slippers I made for Emma (a young girl I used to take care of). They are made of green organic wool as she is into saving the world. The colour is called pistachio. They knit up very quickly. There isn't much to it, plain stitch all the way. I made them a wee bit different by adding a charm on the front. It says peace and love, just perfect for Emma. Here is the pattern below.

Cast on 54 stitches.
Knit every row until the piece measures 5 inches.
Next row cast off 9 stitches, knit to end.

Knit one row.
Next row knit 2 together to end of row.

Cut wool, thread through remaining stitches and sew slipper.
