HOPE SLIPPERS TOKARENKO

We cast on three stitches and in each row we add about one stitch in the middle from each side, knitting in ribbing until there are 61 stitches on the needle, divide into 25, 11, 25 and knit the middle 11 stitches, decreasing one stitch from each side (like a heel on a sock). When there are only 11 stitches left, we cast on 12 stitches along the edge from each side and knit the first and last 5 stitches in garter stitch, knit straight for 20-25 rows to the foot, then knit the heel. Finish with a crochet edge. Good luck!
Increase in every row! If you have never knitted Scottish ribbing, learn on a flat piece. Watch the pattern, it is knitted in a mirror image from the central stitch. To avoid holes from yarn overs, knit them through the back loop!

Scottish ribbing. One of my favorite patterns in knitting. It looks great on both hats and vests, sweaters. It is a thick and dense pattern. Perhaps someone will call it Bulgarian ribbing; the technique is the same, but the density of the pattern is different.
It is also called American ribbing..
So, let's begin:

Cast on a number of stitches that is a multiple of three (3x...) + 2 edge stitches.

Row 1: slip the edge stitch,* knit 2 stitches, knit 1 purl*; and so on until the second edge stitch.

Row 2: edge stitch, *1 knit stitch, yarn over, 2 knit stitches. Slip the yarn over over the last two knit stitches.*, edge stitch.

Cast on 6 stitches and in each row add about 4 stitches in the middle from each side, knitting in ribbing until there are 64 stitches on the needle, divide into 27, 10, 27 and knit the middle 10 stitches, decreasing one stitch from each side (like a heel on a sock). When there are only 10 stitches left, we cast on 12 stitches along the edge from each side and knit the first and last 5 stitches in garter stitch, knit straight for 20-25 rows to the foot, then knit the heel. Finish with a crochet edge.
