Notes

Judy’s Magic Cast On and magic loop to eliminate seams.
Ballet flat appearance achieved by knitting entirely in garter stitch (in-the-round = 1 row purl, 1 row knit).

2 strands bulky weight for soles and 1 strand for uppers.

Did not do rows 18 and 19 heel decreases to correct the “torpedo heel” look.

Embroidery using tips from here:

Slipper dot material from Spotlight used on soles.

I hope you found these notes helpful!
