🧦 Construction Overview

3. Knit the sides and top in one piece

4. Shape the toe

5. Seam only the back heel

The sole remains completely seamless.

🪡 Step-By-Step Instructions

---

1️⃣ Knit the Sole (Flat Piece)

Cast on 32 stitches

Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for:

• 7–9 inches

• Or until it measures about 1 inch shorter than your foot length

This forms the base of the slipper.

Do NOT bind off.

---

2️⃣ Pick Up Stitches Around the Sole

Now you’ll build the slipper upward.

Turn your work so you’re ready to knit along the side edge.

Pick up and knit:

• About 16 stitches along first side

• Knit across the 32 sole stitches

• Pick up 16 stitches along other side

You now have roughly 64 stitches.

Place marker at center front (optional but helpful).

---

3️⃣ Knit the Body

Now work in stockinette:

• Knit one round

• Purl one round

Repeat for about 1.5–2 inches

This forms the sides of the slipper.

---

4️⃣ Shape the Toe (Simple Decrease)

We’ll decrease at the front to shape the slipper.

Decrease Round:

Knit to 3 stitches before marker
K2tog
K1
Slip marker
K1
SSK
Knit to end

Next round: Knit (or purl if maintaining stockinette)

Repeat these two rounds until:

• About 16 stitches remain total

---

5️⃣ Close the Toe

Cut yarn leaving a long tail.

Thread through remaining stitches and pull tight.

Secure inside.

---

6️⃣ Seam the Heel (Back Only)

Fold slipper so heel edges meet.

Using mattress stitch, seam the back heel only.

There is no seam on the bottom — only at the back of the ankle.

---

🧼 Finishing

• Weave in ends

• Try on and adjust fit if needed

• Add non-slip dots if desired

---

📐 Adjusting Size

To Make Larger:

• Cast on 36–40 stitches

• Knit sole longer

To Make Smaller:

• Cast on 28 stitches

• Knit sole shorter

---

🧶 Optional: Make Them Extra Warm (Felted Version)

Use 100% wool (not superwash).

After finishing:

• Wash in warm water

• Agitate in washing machine

• Air dry shaped to foot

They’ll shrink slightly and become thick and cozy.

💡 Tips for Success

✔ Try on before toe shaping
✔ Use bulky yarn for super quick slippers
✔ Add ribbing at ankle if you want snug fit
✔ Write down stitch counts so second slipper matches
