Socks-slippers knitted with needles by Nadezhda Tokarenko

On knitting needles No. 3, cast on 20 stitches.

We knit a braid; 1purl, 4knit, 2purl, 6knit(braid), 2purl, 4knit, 1purl.

We make crossings of stitches in rows 7, 17, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, 77, 87, close stitches on the 93rd row. Along the edge of the knitted fabric, I cast on 47 stitches, add another 13 stitches = 60 stitches

I knit knit stitches without increases for 8-10 rows

We move on to knitting the tongue. We knit 22knit, and then we knit the tongue on 16 stitches. (2rib, 2purl, 4knit(braid), 4knit(braid), 2purl, 2knit. The tongue is knitted to the length of the little finger. Along the edge of the tongue, I pick up 19 stitches on both sides. It turns out 22+19+16+19+22=98 stitches. Next, we knit 16-18 rows of garter stitch

We leave 12 stitches for the foot. We knit 43knit, 11knit, 2purl, we turn the work. We knit again 11knit, 2purl, turn the work and so on until there are 5 stitches left on the side needles. We decrease in the knit row by 2purl from both sides. We sew it together.
