Foot circumference

Row 1 (right side of work): Slip a stitch, 11 meds, 1 SS, turn.
Row 2: Slip a stitch, 11 meV, K2, turn.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until you have 16 stitches on each side of the central 13 stitches - 45 stitches in total.
Cut the threads. Put all the stitches back on the same needle starting with the right side facing you.

Finishes
- Sew a thin seam to close the sole.
- Sew a thin seam to close the back of the slipper.
- Tuck in all the wires.
- It is very important to wash and dry the slipper because the wool will then expand a little.
