Crochet the top of the slipper starting at the toe and join it to the Sole section by picking up stitches on the BASE ROW at the end of each row, as you work toward the ankle section.

Before continuing with the next section, you will mark several stitches to help you with where to end increases and where to start the Heel section. You will increase one stitch each row up to the first stitch marker on either side of the center toe marker; you will continue with the same stitch count up to the second stitch marker on either side of the center toe marker.

Move stitch marker at center toe to current round. Mark the designated stitches to the right and left of center toe marker as follows (See Figure 1):

• Size 7.5”: Mark stitches 7 & 13
• Size 8.5”: Mark stitches 7 & 15
• Size 9.5”: Mark stitches 9 & 17
