INSTRUCTIONS

Begin at the toe. Make a chain of 20 stitches.

1st row: Work 9 single crochet, 1 in each stitch on the chain; make 3 single crochet in 10th chain—that will increase 2 stitches, then 9 single crochet, make 1 chain and turn.

2nd row: Repeat with the single crochet, taking up in the back of the stitches on row below.

These two rows make 1 rib.

Work 14 more ribs and increase 2 stitches for each rib, same as on 1st rib. Now work 17 stitches on one side, turn and repeat same as before until you have 31 ribs.

Sew end to front part and sew 1st row together at toe.

Crochet trimming on top of slipper. Use yarn double and start in the back.

1st row: Make a loop on the hook, * put yarn over and take up 1 long loop on a rib on edge, yarn over and take up another long loop on next rib. Put yarn over hook and pull through 4 loops, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, make 1 chain and repeat from * to end of row.

2nd row: Make 1 single crochet between 2 heavy stitches on row below. * Make 1 chain tight and draw the loop long on the hook, then put yarn over hook and take up 1 loop, 1 inch long, in same place as the single crochet. Yarn over hook and repeat until 4 loops are taken up; yarn over and pull through all on needle at once and make 1 chain tight. Put 1 single crochet between the next two stitches on row below and repeat from *.

This row will finish the trimming. Tie a bow of the ribbon and put on at instep. Sew sole on to slipper.

For other sizes make more or less ribs.
