          \n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Step 1: Cast On<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Cast on 36 stitches<\/strong> using any comfortable cast-on method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n

          Tip: For brighter slippers, hold two strands of yarn together or use variegated yarn.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          Step 2: Knit the Sole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Knit every row<\/strong> (garter stitch) until the piece measures about 9 inches (23 cm)<\/strong> or the length of your foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          This flat piece forms the sole<\/strong> of the slipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          Step 3: Shape the Toe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Now we shape the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Knit 2 stitches together<\/strong> at the beginning of the row<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Knit until 2 stitches remain<\/strong>, then knit 2 together<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Turn and knit the next row normally<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Repeat these decrease rows until 20 stitches remain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            Step 4: Knit the Top of the Foot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Knit straight (garter stitch) for 2.5 inches (6 cm)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            This section wraps over the top of your foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            Step 5: Shape the Heel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Knit across 10 stitches<\/strong>, turn<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Knit back across these 10 stitches only<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Continue knitting back and forth on these stitches for 2 inches (5 cm)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              This forms the heel flap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n\n\n\n

              Step 6: Finish and Bind Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Bind off all stitches loosely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Cut yarn, leaving a 10-inch tail<\/strong> for sewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n\n\n\n

              Step 7: Assemble the Slipper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Using a yarn needle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Sew the toe seam<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Sew the heel seam<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Turn the slipper right side out<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Repeat all steps for the second slipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                Optional Sock-Style Finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n

                  \n\n\n\n

                  Adjusting the Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
