For smaller slippers:<\/p>\n
- \n

<\/p>\n

The piece measures:<\/p>\n
- \n

\nStep 4 \u2014 Shape the Toe<\/h1>\n
Now decrease stitches to form the toe area.<\/p>\n
\nDecrease Row<\/h2>\n

Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.<\/p>\n
Thread the yarn through the remaining stitches.<\/p>\n
Pull tightly to close the toe.<\/p>\n
Secure with a knot.<\/p>\n
\nStep 6 \u2014 Sew the Slipper<\/h1>\n
Fold the slipper in half.<\/p>\n
Using a yarn needle:<\/p>\n
