Notes

Added two rounds to the toe (one increase round to 30 st, and one all HDC) because it was clear that no amount of stretch was going to get those tiny slipper toes over my big “man” feet (I wear a size 11.5/12 women’s). I also increased the body to 20 stitches rather than 14 to increase the depth.

Oddly, despite making the slippers significantly larger than the pattern, I used much less yarn than the pattern specified.

I’m very pleased with the end result; they are ballerina-adorable!
