🪡 Construction Overview

This slipper is knitted:

1. From the sole upward

2. Shaped at the toe

3. Closed at the heel

4. Finished with a soft top edge

And the best part?
👉 The sole remains seamless!

---

🪡 Step 1: Knit the Sole (Flat, No Seam)

1. Cast on required stitches.

2. Work in garter stitch (knit every row).

3. Knit until piece measures from heel to base of toes
   (about 75% of full foot length).

Example for Medium size:

• Foot = 24 cm

• Knit until 18 cm

This creates a soft, flexible base.

---

🪡 Step 2: Shape the Toe (Orchid Shape)

Now we create the rounded decorative toe.

Row 1:
K1, K2tog, knit to last 3 stitches, SSK, K1

Row 2:
Knit all stitches

Repeat these 2 rows until only 10–12 stitches remain.

Cut yarn, thread through remaining stitches, pull tight.

✨ This creates a gathered, flower-like toe — the “Orchid” effect.

---

🪡 Step 3: Pick Up Stitches for the Sides

Now we build the body of the slipper.

1. With right side facing, pick up stitches evenly along one side of the sole.

2. Pick up stitches across the toe.

3. Pick up stitches along the other side.

You now have a “U” shape around the foot.

---

🪡 Step 4: Knit the Upper Part

Work in stockinette stitch:

• Round 1: Knit

• Round 2: Purl (if knitting flat)
  OR

• Knit every round (if using circular needles)

Continue for 5–7 cm.

This forms the top of the foot.

---

🪡 Step 5: Shape the Heel

Fold the back edges together.

Sew ONLY the back heel seam using mattress stitch.

✔ No seam under the foot
✔ Only a small heel seam

Turn right side out.

---

🪡 Step 6: Finish the Top Edge

Pick up stitches around opening.

Work 6–8 rows in:

• Rib stitch (K1, P1) for stretch
  OR

• Garter stitch for soft edge

Bind off loosely.

---

🌸 Optional “Orchid” Decorative Detail

To enhance the flower look:

• Add a small knitted I-cord flower

• Sew a decorative button in the toe center

• Add a crochet flower

• Use two colors (contrast toe)

---
