These popcorn slippers are well-cushioned due to the popcorn stitches. They take more yarn and more time to make than most slippers, but in my opinion the comfort and warmth is well worth it.

Attach the strap anywhere between the seventh to ninth pc st from the heel, so that both sides of the slipper are connected to the strap. To determine where to attach it, put the slipper on and mark where it will be most comfortable so that it will not be too tight around your foot, but will keep the slipper on nice and snug.
