Irina D.'s Slippers

I cast on 45 stitches + 2 edge stitches. I knitted 4 rows in purple, then 4 rows in yellow - another 4 rows in purple - 4 rows in red - 4 rows in purple - 4 rows in white - 4 rows in purple. We start knitting triangles with short rows - 1 row in yellow - knit 14 stitches. Turn the work to the wrong side and knit back 14 stitches. Row 2 - 12 yellow. Row 3 - 10 red stitches. Row 4 - 8 red stitches. Row 5 - 6 white stitches. Row 6 - 4 white stitches. Then we knit all stitches in purple yarn 1 edge. 45 purple knit stitches. 1 edge - 2 rows. In row 3 we knit with purple yarn - 1 edge, 2 knit, 1 yarn over - 2 knit, 1 yarn over - 2 knit, 1 yarn over - 2 knit, 1 yarn over - 2 knit. 1 yarn over - a total of 5 yarn overs - and knit the remaining stitches to the end of the row in knit. On the wrong side, we knit the yarn overs in knit through the back loop to avoid holes.

Next, we knit again the triangle with short rows as described above and completely 4 rows in purple yarn, adding again 5 yarn overs. I knitted 4 such triangles, and after each triangle, I knitted 4 times 4 rows in purple yarn. On the needle, 1 edge 65 stitches. 1 edge. We knit the center - I have 2 rows in yellow, 2 rows in red, 4 rows in white - 2 rows in red - 2 rows in yellow. You can increase the number of rows in the center, especially for wide feet.

You can increase the number of triangles. I have size 37, I knit tightly. The yarn is Kabardian, thick. Needles 2.5.

Next, we knit everything in a mirror reflection - 1 edge, 2 knit, 2 together knit - 2 knit, 2 together knit - 2 knit, 2 together knit - 2 knit, 2 together knit - 2 knit, 2 together knit and the remaining stitches to the end of the row in knit. We decreased 5 stitches - we have 1 edge 60 stitches left 1 edge. We knit 3 more rows in purple yarn without decreases.

We knit a triangle with short rows - 2 rows of 4 white stitches - 2 rows of 6 white - 2 rows of 8 red - 2 rows of 10 red - 2 rows of 12 yellow - 2 rows of 14 yellow.

And repeat - 4 rows in purple with a decrease of 5 stitches, etc. When you have knitted all the triangles - you should have 1 edge 45 stitches left on the needle. 1 edge. Then knit colored stripes.

When I knitted the fabric completely -- see further photo No. 1 - the shaft turned out narrow. since I knit tightly and I knitted 5 additional stripes of 4 rows - see further photo No. 3?

We cast on stitches for the sole - I got - 45 stitches - 7 central - 45 stitches. The stitches from the additional stripes for the back we do not touch for now. We start knitting the sole on the 7 central stitches. additionally attaching 1 stitch from the sides in each row. When I had 13 stitches on the needle - I started to knit the sole like a heel, i.e. knitting in each row 1 stitch from the sole + 1 stitch from the side together. When about a third of the stitches remained - I gradually knitted 3 times 2 stitches together in the middle of the sole fabric. I had 10 stitches left on the sole.

 WE FINISH TO THE END AND JOIN THE BACK AND. WHICH I ADDED - 10 STITCHES AND 10 STITCHES OF THE SOLE AND KNIT THEM TOGETHER. IT CAN BE SEWN.
