Finishing: 14. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through a yarn needle and weave it through the front loops of the remaining stitches. Pull tight to close the toe.

Assembly: 15. Fold the upper part in half, aligning the heel. Use your yarn needle and a length of yarn to sew the heel closed.

Optional Edging: 16. To give your slippers a neater finish, you can add a single crochet border around the opening. Attach your yarn at the back of the slipper and single crochet evenly around. Slip stitch to join and fasten off.

Repeat the above steps to make the second slipper.

Feel free to customize these slippers by adding embellishments like bows, buttons, or surface crochet for decoration. Adjust the size by using a different yarn weight or hook size. Enjoy your cozy house slippers!
