Next Row: Knit.

Next Row: *K2tog; rep from * to end of row – 8 sts.

Cut yarn, leaving a long yarn tail. Thread tail through remaining 8 sts, then pull tail
to draw sts together and close the toe.
Knot securely, then thread tail onto blunt needle and, beg at toe, sew edges together
for about 4 in. (10 cm) to make the top of the foot.

FINISHING
Fold cast-on row in half and sew edges together for back of Slipper.

Note: This seam will come to a small point on the sole of the Slipper. Once you
wear the Slippers, the point will flatten to become part of the sole.

POMPOMS (MAKE 2)
If using the Pompom Maker, follow package instructions to make pompoms with B.

To make pompoms using cardboard, cut 2 circles from cardboard about 3 in. (7.5
cm) in diameter.

Tip
Trace around an object in your house to make the circles – a can or drinking glass
should work.

Trace around a spice jar or other small bottle or jar to draw a circle about 1 3/4 in.
(4.5 cm) in diameter in the center of one of the cardboard circles.
Cut a pie shaped wedge from the outside edge of the cardboard circle to the marked
line for the inner circle, then continue to cut out the inner circle.
Repeat this process with the remaining smaller cardboard circle.

Cut a 10 in. (45.5 cm) strand of B for the pompom tie.

Hold the 2 small cardboard circles together, aligning the cutout wedges. With B,
bring yarn through the wedge opening, wrapping through the inner circle and around
the outside edge of the cardboard shape.
Continue wrapping the yarn – the more wraps, the thicker your pompom will be!

When you’re finished wrapping, cut the yarn.

Then, carefully slide your scissors between the 2 cardboard circles and carefully
snip the yarn wraps.
When all of the wraps are cut, slide the pompom tie between the cardboard circles
and tie tightly in a double knot.
Gently slide the cardboard circles off your pompom.
Holding the pompom tie, shake your pompom into shape, then trim any uneven yarn
ends.

Tie a pompom to the top of each Slipper.

Weave in ends.
