Cast on 28 stitches in the main color and start knitting with short rows in garter stitch, not completing 2 stitches in every 2nd right side row. Then introduce color 2 and knit 4 rows using 28 stitches in garter stitch. After that, work short rows in color 3, but do not reach the end by two stitches in the first row, i.e., 26 stitches (the white stripes should connect), also not completing 2 stitches in every right side row. Then knit 4 rows in color 2 with 28 stitches. Another triangle in the main color; 4 rows in color 2; a triangle in color 3; 4 rows in color 2; a triangle in the main color. Finish this triangle with two rows of garter stitch on 28 stitches. Bind off the stitches. I knitted the sole on the middle 8 stitches, but it might be better to sew the pieces folded in half. Knit the sole following the principle of knitting a sock heel, gradually tapering to 2-4 stitches. Pick up stitches from the edge stitches on double-pointed or circular needles, 26 stitches from each side (26+2-4+26), knit in garter stitch or any pattern of your choice, gradually and evenly decreasing the number of stitches to 44-46 stitches for the desired length, trying it on your foot. Knit the heel on the middle 8 stitches, also decreasing the stitches to 4 for a better fit around the foot. Finish the top with a crochet edge.
