Finishing
-- Fold cast on edge in half (so slipper is inside out) and sew 3 (4,
5) ins. from toes leaving
just enough room for your foot ot go inside slipper. Back stitch
for 4 sts and cut
yarn. Re-attach your yarn at heels then stitch
heel shut. The heel works best just seamed up when the slipper is folded in half!
Make another slipper. Add pom poms if you wish, just above where you put your foot inside the slipper OR eyes for character:
FOR CHARACTER/minion SLIPPERS
For the character slippers, following the pattern, use blue to knit rows 1 and 2 for about 3" then change to yellow yarn, and right before making the toe, about half way to the toes end, do 2 rows in black, then swtitch back to yellow. SEE PHOTO above
