          🪡 Step-By-Step Instructions<\/h1>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          \n

          1️⃣ Knit the Sole (Flat Piece)<\/h2>\n

          Cast on 32 stitches<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Work in garter stitch<\/strong> (knit every row) for:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            7\u20139 inches<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Or until it measures about 1 inch shorter than your foot length<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            This forms the base of the slipper.<\/p>\n

            Do NOT bind off.<\/p>\n

            \n

            2️⃣ Pick Up Stitches Around the Sole<\/h2>\n

            Now you\u2019ll build the slipper upward.<\/p>\n

            Turn your work so you\u2019re ready to knit along the side edge.<\/p>\n

            Pick up and knit:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              About 16 stitches along first side<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Knit across the 32 sole stitches<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Pick up 16 stitches along other side<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              You now have roughly 64 stitches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

              Place marker at center front (optional but helpful).<\/p>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n

              \n

              3️⃣ Knit the Body<\/h2>\n

              Now work in stockinette:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • \n

                Knit one round<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                Purl one round<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Repeat for about 1.5\u20132 inches<\/strong><\/p>\n

                This forms the sides of the slipper.<\/p>\n

                \n

                4️⃣ Shape the Toe (Simple Decrease)<\/h2>\n

                We\u2019ll decrease at the front to shape the slipper.<\/p>\n

                Decrease Round:<\/h3>\n

                Knit to 3 stitches before marker
                K2tog
                K1
                Slip marker
                K1
                SSK
                Knit to end<\/p>\n

                Next round: Knit (or purl if maintaining stockinette)<\/p>\n

                Repeat these two rounds until:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • \n

                  About 16 stitches remain total<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  \"\"<\/p>\n

                  \n

                  5️⃣ Close the Toe<\/h2>\n

                  Cut yarn leaving a long tail.<\/p>\n

                  Thread through remaining stitches and pull tight.<\/p>\n

                  Secure inside.<\/p>\n

                  \n

                  6️⃣ Seam the Heel (Back Only)<\/h2>\n

                  Fold slipper so heel edges meet.<\/p>\n

                  Using mattress stitch, seam the back heel only.<\/p>\n

                  There is no seam on the bottom<\/strong> \u2014 only at the back of the ankle.<\/p>\n

                  \n

                  🧼 Finishing<\/h1>\n
                    \n
                  • \n

                  • \n

                    Try on and adjust fit if needed<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                        🧶 Optional: Make Them Extra Warm (Felted Version)<\/h1>\n

                        Use 100% wool (not superwash).<\/p>\n

                        After finishing:<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • \n

                          Wash in warm water<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                          They\u2019ll shrink slightly and become thick and cozy.<\/p>\n

                          💡 Tips for Success<\/h1>\n

                          ✔ 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<\/p>\n
