The color work starts with a special-stitch, called Linked Trebles (Ltr). Practically 3 rows of stacked scs,
worked in 1 round. This st allows us to work vertical colored stripes, without yarn-strands on the back-side
of work. Swatch with one color, to get the hang of it. Search the net for video-tut to see the st live!

FINISHING THE TOE-PIECE
All sizes works 6 rounds on their sts to finish the toe-piece; 2 rounds Red (Round 1 in Bst-lps of the Ltrs!),
Adjust the length of your toe-piece if you like, by adding or subtracting colors/rounds.
Changing color on almost every round (and following rows, on foot-piece), will create a terrible mess of
yarn-tails!
We’ll make life easier to ourselves, by working in each and every yarn-tail on this project, finishing the
slippers tail-free! Nothing fancy, just remember to look for a tail on BS of work when you start and finish a
round/row. Leave at least 2-3 inch tails, changing color. Work tails in with about 6-8 sts.

FOOT-PIECE

ABOUT MF-MARK
You have probably noticed how your entire toe-piece twists slightly towards right.
It’s quite awkward. There are methods for how to work straight sc-joinings, but
for this project it’s not very important, it will straighten up eventually!
However, I normally just place my toe-piece flat down, and find my own MF-mark,
without counting! Red pin, pic 1. See also st-chart at p 15 for MF/MB-Marks.
Size Small still has: 28 sts, Size Medium: 32 sts, Size Large: 36 sts, and
Size XL; 17 sts = 8 sts on each side of MF-Mark = 23 sts for Foot-Piece.
NOTE: The above distribution of sts for the 4 sizes, are indicative. My size L,
has the indicated # of sts, see pics. The sides can seem short, but the fabric
stretches, and the edging will add about 1/2 inch to the foot-width.
If you like taller sides, no problem. Just decide your own number of sts on

FINISHING SC-EDGE, AND CORDS
If you like your new slippers without cords, with only a last sc-edge, see pics 1-3 below.
If you like cords with ball-embellish, you need to learn the Fsl st, (Foundation sl st) first. See Tutorial below.
BLUE SC-EDGE
As you see on pic 1 below, I started the edge adding the blue yarn in the green/blue Linked Tr-section.
That is OK if you finish your slippers with this round. For cords, please adjoin yarn in front of the LTr-section,
see marking in pic 1 *. This to avoid the closing-st, attaching the cords.

Repeat the other way around in the opposite corner. Close round with sl st in ch on start of round pic 3.
You have to mirror the attaching for left and right slipper. On left slipper you start on the inside heel, work
a few sts, and continue on the cord. On left slipper outside heel, the cord is worked first, then adjoined
to the slipper-heel.
On the right slipper, you work the other way around; start on outside heel, working the cord. On inside

Find your MB-Mark. It can happen (as it did for me!) that the real MB; the
middle of the heel-seam, has moved! The foot’s shape, and the sl st-edg
ing, can have pulled the MB-mark out of center. I choose to make a new
mark, if not, it looks like the cords are attached to the side.

HOW TO CHANGE COLOR + START AND FINISH A SC-ROW TO ACHIEVE STRAIGHT, EVEN AND NEAT SIDES
There is a lot of techniques around, for how to change colors on the row, and how to start and finish the sc
rows to achieve straight sides.
You have already learned how to work in the yarn-tails, and how to “purl” scs on BS of work.
Without the normal forth-and-back ridges, we can change color, starting on RS every time! That is, if you
have 1-color-rows. With 2 rows of the same color, you have to “purl” back, see tut p 6.
This is how I work colored stripes:

This way of working colored rows across, + working in the tails on BS as you go,
gives quite nice sides. The slipper is ready for edging.
