Step-by-Step Instructions

Knitting Instructions

1. Cast on 24 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure your tension is consistent for a uniform look.
2. For Rows 1-4, work in garter stitch by knitting every row. This will create a thick, chunky texture that is both sturdy and cozy.
3. On Row 5, knit across the row, then increase the stitch count by knitting into the front and back (kfb) of each stitch. You should have 48 stitches at the end of this row.
4. For Rows 6-10, continue in stockinette stitch: knit one row and purl the next. This will give your slippers a smooth finish.
5. On Row 11, begin shaping the toe by knitting two stitches together (k2tog) across the row. You will have 24 stitches remaining.
6. On Row 12, purl across the row.
7. On Row 13, knit two stitches together (k2tog) across the row again. You should now have 12 stitches.
8. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread this tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close the toe securely.
9. Using the tapestry needle, sew the seam from the toe to the heel, ensuring that the stitches are tight and even for durability.
