Rnds 6‑cont.: Hdc in each hdc around, (work in con­tin­u­al rounds with­out a slip stitch, use a marker)*Repeat this round until the toe Reach­es 5.5 inch­es long; now if your Foot is small­er then a size 8.5, then you will cro­chet up to the about a 1/2  inch away from your ankle and stop until the next rows below.
 
Next Rows: This is the open­ing of the Slip­per where the foot goes in: Now Chain 1, and Turn, *hdc in each hdc around until you reach the mark­er from the last round; chain 1 and Turn, *Repeat this until your slip­per reach­es 10.5 inch­es long or about 4.5 inch­es from the end of the last round of the toe to end of the heel, or if your foot is a dif­fer­ent shoe size, cro­chet until you can close the last rows togeth­er and it fits com­fort­ably with­out the slip­per com­ing to lose when you walk.
Once your slip­per reach­es the length to fit women, then take the ends of the last round, and slip stitch across to close it for the heel. Then at the end, I turn it inside out, so the heel won’t show. Now, fas­ten off and weave in the ends.
