Abbreviations:

Worked in the Round: Creates a seamless design, ideal for slipper construction.
Edging: Completed with a hook one size smaller than the main body for a snug, polished fit.

Create Magic Ring: Begin with a magic ring to ensure a seamless, closed toe.
Rnd 1: Work 8 SC into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight and join with a SL ST to the first SC. (8 sts)
Rnd 2: Work 2 SC in each stitch around. Join with a SL ST to the first SC. (16 sts)
Rnd 3: (SC in next st, 2 SC in next st) Repeat around. Join with a SL ST. (24 sts)
Rnd 4 (and subsequent rounds): Continue increasing: (SC in next X sts, 2 SC in next st) until the diameter matches the width of the toe section (approx. 3”/7.5 cm for a Women’s Medium).
Finish with a SL ST, and check your work for a smooth, circular shape.

Begin Rnd 1: Without increasing, work 1 SC in each stitch around. Join with a SL ST at the end of the round.
Continue Rounds: Work evenly in SC until the length from the toe to the instep matches approx. 7”/18 cm (adjust length as needed for a snug fit).
- Use stitch markers to mark the starting stitch of each round if necessary.
- Ensure your stitches are consistent to maintain an even texture.

Transition to Rows: Stop working in the round. Begin working in rows across half of the stitches to shape the heel.
- Row 1: SC across half the total stitches, CH 1, turn.
- Rows 2–X: Work SC in each stitch across, CH 1, and turn at the end of each row.
Continue rows until the heel section forms a rectangle that matches the height needed to wrap comfortably around the heel (approx. 2”/5 cm for a Women’s Medium).

Fold the Heel: Bring the edges of the heel rectangle together to form the back seam.
Seam: Use either a SL ST or SC to join the edges. Work neatly to avoid a bulky seam, ensuring a smooth and comfortable finish.
Fasten Off: Cut the yarn and weave in the ends securely.

Switch to Smaller Hook (E/4, 3.5 mm): For a polished edge, change to the smaller hook size.
Rnd 1: Work 1 SC evenly around the opening of the slipper. Be sure to maintain an even tension and place stitches neatly along any uneven edges.
Optional Decorative Edge: Add a Reverse SC (Crab Stitch) or another decorative border for a finished look.

Weave in Ends: Use a blunt darning needle to weave in all loose ends, ensuring they are secure and trimmed neatly.
Block if Necessary: Lightly block the slippers to achieve the desired shape and size.
