Preparation
Keep the Size in Mind
The calculation in the source is for size 38. The source does not give a gauge, needle size, or resizing formula, so swatch and recalculate rather than scaling the stitch counts by assumption.
Start the Toe
Prepare the Yarn and Decoration
The author knitted these striped slipper socks over a couple of evenings using 50 g of yarn—two small balls in cherry and red. The decoration can be anything; the sample uses bows knitted on needles.
Cast On and Increase
Cast on 15 stitches and work 6 rows in garter stitch, knitting every stitch on both right-side and wrong-side rows. Mark the center stitch. Slip the edge stitch, knit 6, yarn over, knit the center stitch, yarn over, and knit the rest of the row. Make increases in every right-side row, 15 times total. Keep 6 edge stitches at both the beginning and end of the row in garter stitch, and work the rest of the toe in stockinette stitch. Divide the knitting into three equal sections of 15 stitches each.
Shape the Toe
Work only the middle 15 stitches. On both right-side and wrong-side rows, knit together the last stitch on the center needle and the first stitch on the left needle; make 15 such decreases. Pick up 15 knit stitches from each side section and continue working on all three needles, gradually moving the fabric to two needles. The author alternated cherry and red yarn in this part of the slipper sock.
Knit the Main Section
Determine the Length by Trying It On
Knit the main section in stockinette stitch, continuing to work the first 6 and last 6 stitches in garter stitch. At this stage, try it on to determine the needed length. Then divide the fabric into three equal sections again.
Shape the Heel and Edge
Shape the Heel
Shape the heel in the same way as the toe in step 3. Bind off the remaining 15 stitches on the center needle.
Edge and Decorate the Slipper Socks
Edge the slipper socks with reverse single crochet. The finished item can be decorated with pom-poms, embroidery, buttons, or beads.
