          Done!<\/p>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          \n

          👣 STEP 1: Cast On<\/h1>\n

          For medium size:
          Cast on 36 stitches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          \n

          🧶 STEP 2: Knit the Rectangle<\/h1>\n

          Knit every row (garter stitch).<\/p>\n

          That\u2019s it \u2014 just knit!<\/p>\n

          Continue until piece measures:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            About 9 inches (23 cm)<\/strong> long
            OR<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            The same length as your foot<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Fast tip: Lay it against your foot to check.<\/p>\n

            \n

            ✂️ STEP 3: Bind Off<\/h1>\n

            Bind off loosely.
            Cut yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.<\/p>\n

            You now have one simple knitted swatch.<\/p>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

            \n

            🧦 STEP 4: The Magic Folding Method<\/h1>\n

            Lay rectangle flat.<\/p>\n

            Step A \u2013 Form the Toe<\/h3>\n

            Fold the bottom half upward so short ends meet.<\/p>\n

            Sew across one short edge.
            This creates the toe.<\/p>\n

            \n

            Step B \u2013 Form the Heel<\/h3>\n

            Now fold the back half together.<\/p>\n

            Sew about 2\u20133 inches down from the top edge.<\/p>\n

            This creates the heel seam.<\/p>\n

            Leave the middle open for your foot.<\/p>\n

            \n

            🔄 STEP 5: Turn Right Side Out<\/h1>\n

            Turn the slipper inside out so seams go inside.<\/p>\n

            Now you have a soft slipper shape!<\/p>\n

            No complicated shaping.
            No picking up stitches.
            No short rows.<\/p>\n

            Just one swatch!<\/p>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

            \n

            🧵 Optional Finishing Edge<\/h1>\n

            To make the opening neater:<\/p>\n

            Option 1:
            \nPick up stitches around the opening and knit 4\u20136 rows.<\/p>\n

            Option 2:
            \nUse crochet slip stitch around edge.<\/p>\n

            Option 3:
            \nLeave as-is for a rustic look.<\/p>\n

            \n

            🧡 Make Them Extra Cozy<\/h1>\n

            ✔ Use double yarn for thick winter slippers
            ✔ Add ribbing at the top (K1, P1 for 6 rows)
            ✔ Add buttons or pom-poms
            ✔ Sew on suede sole for durability
            ✔ Add non-slip paint dots<\/p>\n
