Assembly

Turn your crochet loafers inside out. Match up the pointiest side of your toe ribbing with the tip of your slipper. Hold the slipper and the toe ribbing together with the ribbed side of the toe ribbing facing the slipper.

We will only be using the inside loops for sewing to make it less noticeable. The inside loop of the slipper will be the back loop and the inside loop of the toe ribbing will be the front loop.

Using the long tail you left when you completed the heel rows, sew together the first 3 sts with the ends of the 3 heel rows.

Continue joining in this same fashion all the way around the toe. End by sewing the final 3 sts of the toe ribbing with the opposite end of the 3 heel rows. Fasten off when done.
