SLIPPERS
With dpns, cast on 52 sts.
Arrange sts evenly on 4 needles = 13 sts per needle. Join for working in the round, place beginning of rnd marker and work in rib pat for 9 cm.
Next, work in broken rib pat for 11 cm, ending with a pat rnd 4 or 8.
Next 4 rnds: Work sts on first and 4th needle in stockinette, work sts on 2nd and 3rd needle in broken rib pat as established.
Leaving sts on 2nd and 3rd needle on hold, work boomerang heel across sts on first and 4th needle following instructions under “Boomerang (or Short-Row) Heel"
Continue in pat as established until foot measures 21.5 cm, then work banded toe in stockinette following instructions under “Decreases for paired decreases after first decrease round" on size chart.

FINISHING
Fold cuff in half to outside.
BOOMERANG (OR SHORT-ROW) HEEL
Work this heel in st-st in open rows over the stitches on Needles 1 and 4. For relief patts, work to about 1-2 cm before end of leg in St-st over stitches on Needles 1 and 4; cont in leg patt over stitches on Needles 2 and 3. At the same time, dec any excess stitches on Needles 1 and 4 on
1st round.
Arrange the heel stitches on 3 needles, see table "Stitches for booemerang heel"
Then work short rows with wrap stitches as foll:
the no. of wrap stitches worked on Needle 1 are before the first slash,
the no. of wrap stitches worked on needle 4 are after 2nd
slash.
The no. of stitches of center piece is between the slashes, do not work wrap stitches over these stitches.
On first half of heel on Needle 1 work first wrap stitch tog with last stitch before Needle 2, and on Needle 4 work first wrap stitch tog with first stitch after Needle 3. On all foll rows work 1 stitch less at the end each of every RS row and of every WS row, and after turning work wrap stitches until just stitches of center panel rem.
After 2 rounds over all stitches work over 2nd half of heel with short rows and wrap stitches in the opposite direction, thus on Needle 1 work first wrap stitch with first stitch after center panel, and last wrap stitch with last stitch on Needle 1; on Needle 4 on a RS row work first wrap stitch with first stitch after center panel, and last wrap stitch with 1st stitch on Needle 4.

This brings the st over the needle, forming a wrap st If the yarn is not pulled back firmly enough, this will result in a hole. Bring yarn to front and P over rem sts. on Needle 1 and all sts on Needle 4, turn.
