Slippers. Master Tatyana Kozhevnikova

We cast on 48 stitches, distribute them on 4 needles and knit the pattern:

Row 1 – knit all stitches;

Row 2 – purl all stitches;

Row 3 – knit all stitches;

Row 4 – purl all stitches;

Rows 5 and 6 are knitted in the round with knit stitches;

Row 7 – knit all stitches;

Row 8 – purl all stitches;

Row 9 – knit all stitches;

Row 10 – purl all stitches;

Rows 11 and 12 are knitted in the round with knit stitches;

Row 13 we make holes for the laces: *yarn over; knit 2 together through the back loop*;

Row 14 we repeat the pattern from rows 1 to 12

Next, we knit on 2 needles (24 stitches) with knit stitches, and on two (24 stitches) – the pattern (this is the top of the slipper).

Heel:

We divide 24 stitches into 3 parts:

8 stitches each

We knit only the middle 8 stitches, making decreases at the end of each row by knitting 2 stitches together: on the front side – knit 2 together, and on the back side – purl 2 together.

We continue this until there are 18 stitches left on the needles; then we pick up the side stitches and knit in the round, making decreases until there are 12 stitches left on the needles

Pattern:
Row 1 – 6 purls, 6 knits; 6 knits, 6 purls.

Row 2 – 5 purls, 2 together knit inclined to the right, 4 knits, 1 yarn over, 1 knit; and in a mirror image: 1 knit, 1 yarn over, 4 knits, 2 together knit inclined to the left, 5 purls.

Row 3 – 4 purls, 2 together, 4 knits, yarn over, 2 knits; and in a mirror image: 2 knits, yarn over, 4 knits, 2 together, 4 purls.

Row 4 – 3 purls, 2 together, 4 knits, yarn over, 3 knits; and in a mirror image: 3 knits, yarn over, 4 knits, 2 together, 3 purls.

Row 5 – 2 purls, 2 together, 4 knits, yarn over, 4 knits; and in a mirror image: 4 knits, yarn over, 4 knits, 2 together, 2 purls.

Row 6 – 1 purl, 2 together, 4 knits, yarn over, 5 knits; and in a mirror image: 5 knits, yarn over, 4 knits, 2 together, 1 purl.

Next, we repeat the pattern until the desired size is achieved.

We knit like regular socks.
