Wow, it has been a little while since I posted here!
I made some slippers recently to sell at the upcoming advent creative market that takes place in my town every year. I found some great value super bulky yarn and decided to make slippers out of it.
They are basically just very simple toe-up socks with a short row heel. I decided to share the pattern with you my lovely readers… 🙂

You are now done with the heel and will resume knitting in the rd on all 18 sts. On the first rd, you will pick up the two wraps make on the first and last sts of the top of the foot, these will close the gap with the heel without creating a hole.
