Knitting Instructions

Cast On and Ribbing:

1. Cast on 48 stitches using neon pink yarn.
2. Work in 2x2 ribbing (knit 2, purl 2) for 10 rows. This creates a snug cuff for your slipper.

Asymmetrical Foot Shaping:

1. Switch to neon green yarn and knit 20 rows in stockinette stitch (knit every row).
2. Begin asymmetrical shaping:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): Knit 24 stitches, place a marker, knit 2 together (k2tog), knit to the end of the row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches.
   • Repeat these two rows, decreasing 1 stitch after the marker every Right Side row until you have 36 stitches remaining.

Heel Shaping:

1. Switch to neon blue yarn.
2. Work short rows as follows:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): Knit 18 stitches, then turn your work.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl 10 stitches, then turn your work.
   • Row 3 (Right Side): Knit 12 stitches, then turn your work.
   • Row 4 (Wrong Side): Purl 14 stitches, then turn your work.
   • Continue this pattern, adding 2 stitches each row until all stitches are worked.

Foot and Toe:

1. Continue in stockinette stitch with neon yellow yarn for 12 rows.
2. Begin toe decreases:
   • Row 1: (Knit 2, k2tog) to the end of the row.
   • Row 2: Purl all stitches.
   • Repeat these two rows until you have 12 stitches remaining.
3. Graft the toe using the Kitchener stitch for a seamless finish.

Crochet Finishing

1. Using a 3.5 mm crochet hook and neon pink yarn, single crochet around the slipper opening for a neat edge.
2. Fasten off and weave in all ends to secure your work.

Repeat all steps for the second slipper, ensuring the asymmetrical pattern mirrors the first. Enjoy your cozy, vibrant Fairycore Asymmetrical Neon Slippers!
