Cottagecore Ocean Bloom Slippers - Free Pattern

2. Cuff

1. Rows 1-10: Work in *K2, P2* ribbing across all stitches. This creates a stretchy cuff that will hug your ankle comfortably.

3. Leg

1. Rows 11-30: Switch to stockinette stitch. Knit all stitches on the right side and purl all stitches on the wrong side. Continue until you reach row 30.
2. Rows 31-40: Begin the floral motif using the intarsia technique. Follow the chart for the floral design, incorporating the white yarn for the flowers. Make sure to keep your tension consistent.

4. Heel Flap

1. Row 41: Knit the first 32 stitches, then turn your work.
2. Rows 42-60: Work back and forth on these 32 stitches. On the wrong side, work *Sl1, P1* across. On the right side, work *Sl1, K1* across. This creates a sturdy heel flap.

5. Turn Heel

1. Row 61: Knit 18 stitches, then k2tog, k1, and turn your work.
2. Row 62: Sl1, p5, p2tog, p1, and turn your work.
3. Continue this process, decreasing until all stitches are worked. You should have a rounded heel shape at the end.

6. Gusset

1. Pick up and knit 16 stitches along each side of the heel flap.
2. Resume knitting in the round, ensuring you are connecting the heel to the foot.
3. Decrease 1 stitch at each side of the gusset every other round until you have 64 stitches remaining.

7. Foot

1. Knit in stockinette stitch until the foot measures 2 inches less than your desired length.

8. Toe

1. Round 1: Work *K6, k2tog* around. This begins the toe shaping.
2. Round 2: Knit all stitches.
3. Continue decreasing every other round until you have 16 stitches remaining.
4. Graft the toe using the Kitchener stitch for a seamless finish.

9. Finishing

1. Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a clean finish.
2. Block your slippers to shape, allowing them to dry completely before wearing.
