NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.
• These slippers are worked in one piece with no seams. The sole is knit flat using the contrast color beginning at the toe and working to the heel. Then, stitches are picked up and knit around the perimeter of the sole using the main color, and the body of the foot is worked upward in the round. The upper foot is shaped with short-rows and ends with an I-cord Bind-off at the ankle.
• A tassel is added after felting. Use a tapestry needle with a sharp point to weave the tassel tie into the felted slipper.
• Slip all slipped sts pwise with yarn in front unless otherwise noted.
• These slippers are designed to fit women’s US shoe sizes 5/6 (6/7, 7/8, 8/9, 9/10, 10/11).
