Worked in simple garter stitch.

Shaft of the slipper: cast on 36-38-40 sts on double-pointed needle 6 mm with 1 strand of medium gray and 1 strand of gray mix. Knit ribbing according to the pattern 1 knit/1 purl for approximately 10 cm.

Foot and other parts: Now knit the first 9-11-11 stitches in the round, place the remaining 27-27-29 sts on a stitch holder. Continue knitting in the round ribbing adding 1 stitch on each side, resulting in 11-13-13 stitches in the round. When you have knitted in the round for 7-8.5-10 cm, decrease by 1 stitch on each side again to 9-11-11 stitches. Then transfer the reserved part from the stitch holder to the needles and knit increasing by 12-14-16 stitches on each side from the middle until reaching 60-66-72 stitches on the needle. Now the measurements will be from this point. Insert 1 marker in the middle of the front part of the toe and 1 marker in the middle of the back part of the heel. Continue knitting in round ribbing for 2 cm. Now finish knitting in stockinette stitch decreasing by knitting two knit stitches together on each side from the marker (a total of 4 sts less in each round) and continue until reaching 3-3-4 cm and bind off stitches. Sew the knitting to the bottom of the foot avoiding thick seams.
