Rounds:

• 1 - ch 8 (ch 6 for child), sl st into the first ch, creating a magic circle
• 2 - ch 1, work 12 hdc into the circle (10 hdc / 8 hdc), sl st to join, turn
• 3 - ch 1, work 2 hdc into each st around (24 hdc / 20 hdc / 16 hdc), sl st to join, turn
• 4 to 6 - ch 2, dc into each st around, sl st to join, turn
• Here we have created the toe of our right slipper.
• 7 - ch 2, work one dc into each stitch around minus 4 stitches (leaving an ankle opening), ch 2, turn
• 8 to 12 - dc into each st around, ch 2, turn (20 dc, 16 dc, 12 dc)
• Continue in this manner until the slipper is the length that you want it. For the boys, a child's size ten, I had six rounds after the toe piece. For myself, a women’s size 8, I had eight rounds after the toe piece.
• When you have completed your rounds to the desired length, fold the slipper inside out and sew the sides together using your yarn needle. Sc around the opening, tie off, sew the yarn tail into the slipper with a tapestry needle, and you are finished!
