Pattern Instructions
1. Slipper Base:
Begin with a long tail of yarn (approximately 12 inches).
Chain 34 (36, 38) depending on your chosen size.
Row 1:
Single crochet in the second chain from the hook, then continue to single crochet across. Turn your work. You should have 33 (35, 37) stitches.
Rows 2–26 (27, 28):
Chain 1, single crochet across each row. Turn your work after each row. Do not fasten off when you finish the last row.
2. Shaping the Toe:
Thread the embroidery needle with the 12-inch tail you left at the beginning. Weave it in and out along the short edge of your work. Pull gently but firmly to gather the stitches and close the toe.
Then, pass the needle through the starting corner again to anchor the closure. Reinforce this area with a few whip stitches.
Next, use whip stitches to join the first 7 (8, 9) stitches on each side of the slipper. Once done, fasten off.
3. Finishing the Upper:
Row 27 (28, 29):
Chain 1, single crochet across to the seam you’ve just created, then continue across the opposite edge. Leave a long tail and fasten off.
4. Closing the Heel:
Use the remaining yarn tail to whip stitch the heel closed neatly and securely.
