Items Needed:

Blue Knifty Knitter Loom knitting tool

1-2 balls of Bulky weight yarn - I used Patons Chunky Shetland

1. Working with two strands together (two strands of yarn=to one strand for knitting over), e-cast on all 24 pegs. This project starts at the heel. E-wrap/twisted knit/single stitch (they are all the same stitch, different names) for 8 rows.
2. Bind off stitches 13 through 24. Take the loop from peg 24 and place it onto peg 1 and knit off. This creates the opening for your foot.
3. E-wrap on all 24 pegs again (for the first row, you are just creating loops around the pegs you have bound off; you will work them on the second row). E-wrap stitch for 4 rows.
   Bind off stitches 13 through 24. Take the loop from peg 24 and place it onto peg 1 and knit off (I know it sounds like I just repeated myself.) This makes the strap.
4. E-wrap back and forth, increasing the row at each end. Repeat two more times (6 total rows)
5. E-wrap on all 24 pegs again and knit off pegs with two loops. E-wrap stitch for 15 rows or until project reaches desired size.
6. Cast off with gathering method. This makes the toe.
7. Gather the other end of the project, this makes the heel.
8. The openings end up with really loose edges so I do a round or two of single crochet to tighten it up.
9. The slippers end up about a size 9 or 10 woman’s. To make smaller, use a smaller gauge loom. To make larger, after binding off the first or second time, E-wrap stitch a couple of rows before casting on all the loops again. Can also add rows at the beginning and end.
10. Then make a matching slipper.
