🧵 Materials<\/h2>\n
    \n

    2 straight knitting needles<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      4.5\u20135 mm (US 7\u20138) for worsted<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Scissors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \n

      📏 Size (Adjustable Pattern)<\/h2>\n

      This sample fits Women\u2019s US 7\u20138 (Medium)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      To adjust size:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Add stitches for larger feet<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Subtract stitches for smaller feet<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Knit more rows to make longer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Medium size guide:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          Cast on: 36 stitches<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Finished foot length: about 9 inches<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          \n

          🪡 How the Slipper Is Made<\/h1>\n

          You will:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Knit from the toe upward<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          2. \n

            Shape the foot<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          3. \n

            Form the heel<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          4. \n

            Sew only the back seam<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The bottom stays smooth \u2014 no seam on the sole.<\/p>\n

            \n

            👣 STEP 1: Knit the Toe<\/h1>\n

            Cast on 8 stitches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

            Row 1: Knit
            Row 2: Knit<\/p>\n

            Now begin increasing.<\/p>\n

            Increase Row (Right Side):
            K1, make 1 stitch (M1), knit to last stitch, M1, K1<\/p>\n

            Next Row: Knit all stitches<\/p>\n

            Repeat these two rows until you have 36 stitches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

            This creates a rounded toe.<\/p>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

            \n

            👟 STEP 2: Knit the Foot<\/h1>\n

            Once you reach 36 stitches:<\/p>\n

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

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

            About 2 inches shorter than your full foot length<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

            Example:
            If foot length is 9 inches \u2192 knit until 7 inches.<\/p>\n

            Tip: Place it against your foot to check.<\/p>\n

            \n

            🦶 STEP 3: Shape the Heel (Easy Method)<\/h1>\n

            Now we shape the heel without creating a sole seam.<\/p>\n

            Row 1: Knit 24 stitches, turn.
            Row 2: Knit 12 stitches, turn.<\/p>\n

            Now continue:<\/p>\n

            Each row, knit 1 stitch more before turning.<\/p>\n

            Example:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              Knit 13, turn<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Knit 14, turn<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Knit 15, turn<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Continue until all stitches are worked again.<\/p>\n

              This forms a heel cup.<\/p>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n

              \n

              🧵 STEP 4: Knit the Ankle Edge<\/h1>\n

              After heel shaping:<\/p>\n

              Knit 6\u201310 rows for a soft ankle edge.<\/p>\n

              Optional:
              \nSwitch to ribbing (K1, P1) for stretchy top.<\/p>\n

              \n

              ✂️ STEP 5: Bind Off<\/h1>\n

              Bind off loosely.<\/p>\n

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

              \n

              🪢 STEP 6: Sew the Back Seam Only<\/h1>\n

              Fold slipper in half at the heel.<\/p>\n

              Sew only the back edge together.<\/p>\n

              That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n

              ✔ No seam under the foot
              ✔ Smooth sole
              ✔ Very comfortable<\/p>\n
