SOLE
(It’s not important to have the exact number of
stitches each row as I have, this is just what I did, you can change this
pattern any way you like as it won’t change the look - it's actually meant to
look rough - like the edge of leaves).

CREATING A LEFT AND A RIGHT SLIPPER
Turn 1 of the slippers over before
joining the back section. The outside of
the slipper will be higher at the ankle than the inside.
BACK
Join yarn at back at end opposite
beginning tail. (Join yarn at back at same
side as tail on other slipper).
ROW
1 - 2 chain, 1 (hdc) htr in each of next 14
stitches, sl stitch in each of next 3 stitches, turn
2 - skip slip stitches, 1 (hdc) htr in each of
previous 14 stitches
3 - 2 chain, skip 1 stitch, 1 (sc) dc in next
stitch, 1 (hdc) htr in each of next 14 stitches, 1 sl st in each of next 3 stitches
across bottom,
4 - skip slip stitches, 1 (hdc) htr in each of
next 13 stitches
5 - 3 chain, skip 1st stitch,
1 (sc) dc in next stitch, 1 (hdc) htr in each of next 13 stitches, 1 sl st in each of next
3 stitches across bottom,
6 - crochet next row to other side of
shoe, skip 1st stitch on previous row, 1 (hdc) htr in each stitch
alternating with sl st on 1st row of other side. Tie off yarn.
CLOSING
1 - Starting at the front tip of the
slipper - 1 (sc) dc in each stitch space up the centre of the slipper, 1 (sc) dc in each
stitch space around the ankle, 1 (sc) dc in each stitch space down the other side of
the slipper to tip at front –
2 - Repeat the row of (sc) dc if your slippers
are for a wider foot.
Starting at the front tip of the
slipper, skip the first 3 (sc) dc on each side, 1 sl st in each stitch together with
the corresponding stitch on the other side closing up the top from front to
ankle (approximately 18 rows). Optional
- crochet 1 (sc) dc in each stitch around the ankle working from the inside so when
the top is splayed out, it looks neat.
