Fun animal print slippers knitted flat and in the round. Small enough to slip into your purse.

I HAVE ADDED A PHOTO OF THE HEEL TAB START. HOPE IT HELPS. I have also review the pattern to include this.

The i-cord trim is knitted as you go along and becomes an elastic casing - no finishing required. With this technique, these ballerinas stay on the foot. Three sizes and very easy to adjust.

The fairisle pattern makes them interesting to knit and adds warmth, cushiness and comfort.

The following techniques are used:
- provisional cast-on (video link)
- knit as you go i-cord - detailed instructions included
- intarsia (video link)
- one color each hand fairisle knitting (video link)
- Kitchener grafting - instructions included

Easy adjustable sizing.
Suitable for any sock yarn.
