FRONT PIECE:
Cast on (28) 34-38-44-48 (52-58) stitches on needles size 3 mm with BabyMerino. Work 2 ridges
in GARTER STITCH - see explanation above. On last row increase 1 stitch = (29) 35-39-45-49 (53-

decrease for 2 buttonholes evenly over the (6) 9-11-12-14 (16-19) stitches in each side of piece
(= 4 buttonholes in total). 1 buttonhole = knit 2 together and make 1 yarn over. Button the straps

Repeat A.1 and garter stitch vertically.
When piece measures (3) 3-4-4-5 (6-4) cm, decrease for buttonholes in each side of piece – read

When piece measures (17) 21-25-27-29 (32-36) cm, decrease for crotch as follows – read
DECREASE TIP: (NOTE: Continue with A.1 until number of stitches no longer fit pattern, then work
purl over purl and knit over knit over stitches in A.1). Decrease 1 stitch inside 3 stitches in garter
stitch in each side of piece (= 2 stitches decreased) every 4th row (5) 4-5-4-6 (6-5) times in total,
then every other row (2) 6-7-11-10 (12-16) times in total AT THE SAME TIME on last row decrease
1 stitch = (14) 14-14-14-16 (16-16) stitches. Piece now measures approx. (22) 27-32-35-38 (42-
47) cm. Insert 1 marker in the piece. Front piece is finished. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE!

BACK PIECE:
Now work piece in garter stitch over all stitches until finished measurements.
Now increase as follows - read INCREASE TIP: Increase 1 stitch inside 3 stitches in garter stitch in
each side of piece (= 2 stitches increased) every other row (12) 15-17-20-21 (23-26) times in

marker. Then cast on 11 new stitches in each side of piece at the end of the next 2 rows = (60)
66-70-76-80 (84-90) stitches. When piece measures (19) 24-28-30-33 (37-41) cm, cast off 16
stitches for armholes at the beginning of the next 2 rows (i.e. in each side of piece) = (28) 34-38-
44-48 (52-58) stitches.
When piece measures (23) 28-33-36-40 (44-49) cm from marker, knit the first (6) 9-11-12-14

56) cm from marker (strap measures approx. (6) 6-6-6-7 (7-7) cm). Cast off. Work the other strap
the same way.

Sew buttons on straps. Sew buttons in the middle of the 6 outermost stitches in each side of back
piece (= band).
----------------------------------------------------------

SLIPPERS:
Worked in the round on double pointed needles.
Cast on 51-51-51 (51-68) stitches on double pointed needles size 2.5 mm with BabyMerino. Work
2 ridges in GARTER STITCH - see explanation above. Then work A.2 (= 17 stitches) over all
stitches (= 3-3-3 (3-4) times in width). REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When A.2 has been
worked 3-4-4 (5-5) times vertically piece measures approx. 4-5-5 (6-6) cm. Work 1 round in
stocking stitch while adjusting number of stitches to 40-44-48 (52-56). Work rib = knit 1/purl 1 for
2 cm. Then work next round as follows: * Knit 2 together, 1 yarn over *, work from *-*.
On next round slip the first 15-17-18 (20-21) stitches on 1 stitch holder, keep the next 10-10-12
(12-14) stitches on needle and slip the last 15-17-18 (20-21) stitches on 1 stitch holder. Now work
back and forth. Work in GARTER STITCH – see explanation above - over stitches on needle for
3½-4-5 (6-7) cm (= over piece).
Pick up 9-11-13 (15-18) stitches on each side of upper foot and slip stitches from stitch holders
back on needles = 58-66-74 (82-92) stitches. Insert a marker after 29-33-37 (41-46) stitches (=
middle of piece).
Work in garter stitch back and forth from mid back - AT THE SAME TIME after 2-2½-3 (3½-4) cm
decrease as follows: Knit 2 together at the beginning and at the end of row and on each side of
the middle 2 stitches, repeat this decrease every other row until the section in garter stitch
measures 3-4-5 (5-6) cm. Cast off and sew slipper together mid under foot and continue up to
eyelet holes mid back – sew in front loops of stitches to avoid a chunky seam. Knit another slipper
the same way. Make 2 ties to thread in eyelet row on each slipper if desired as follows:

TIES:
Cut 3 lengths of approx. 1 meter, twine them tightly together, fold them double and they will twine
again, tie a knot in each end. Thread the tie in and out through the eyelet holes on slippers.
