PATTERN NOTES
1) Before you start take a measurement of length of your leg from big toe to heel and a leg circumference (please see the final measurement of the slippers below).
2) This pattern is for Medium Woman size, but you can easily adapt to a smaller size or bigger size.
There are 3 parts:
1) from big toe to leg

Make the first part of slipper (working in rounds) bigger or smaller just by reducing or increasing the number of stitches in rounds.
Make the second part of slipper (working in rows) bigger or smaller just by reducing or increasing the number of rows.
Make the third part of slipper shorter or longer just by reducing or increasing the number of rows.
3) A ch1 at beg of the round DOESN'T count as a stitch throughout.

Lay the SLIPPER out in front of you. Place SLIPPER with right side up, right side facing you.
With yarn color B and hook you will now make a border around the PART 2, making sure the right side up.
Remember not to make your stitches too tight and not too loose.
Start at the beginning of row R16
R1: ch1, working in ends of rows R16-R26 make 15 slip stitches evenly, you reach the heel, then work in ends of rows R26-R16, make again 15 slip stitches evenly.
You make 30 slip stitches in total. Join row with sl st in 1st skipped hdc. Turn your work.
R2: ch1, 1hdc in next 29 slip stitches, then join next 2st together and then 1hdc in next 8 hdc (the stitches in row R15 which we skipped), join row with sl st in 1st ch
Color C
R3: ch1, 1hdc in each st around till end of row, sl st in 1st ch.
