Now DC in each dc across, ch 3 turn.
Keep doing this till you have 12 - 13 rows, end off with a 12" tail of yarn.
Thread tail onto a sewing needle and weave yarn through one end of the oblong, pull tightly to gather, then whip stitch down folded slipper to a bit farther than half way. Finish off and cut yarn. Whip stitch heel. You can add a pom pom if  you like.
