6. Repeat Rows 3–4 until the piece measures 6 in (15 cm) from foundation chain for small, 7 in (18 cm) for medium, and 8 in (20 cm) for large.

Heel

The heel section is designed to add comfort and support. 7. Row 1: Ch 1, turn. Sc in first 10 sts, leave remaining sts unworked. (10 sts for small, 11 for medium, 12 for large) 8. Rows 2–4: Ch 1, turn. Sc in each st across. (10 sts for small, 11 for medium, 12 for large) 9. Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing.

Instep

The instep is attached after completing the main body and heel. 10. For the instep, with right side facing, rejoin yarn at the first unworked stitch of the body. 11. Ch 1. Sc in the first st, then HDC in remaining stitches across to the end. (21 for small, 23 for medium, 25 for large)

Assembly & Finishing

• Fold the sock in half, aligning the heel with the instep.

• Weave in all ends with a yarn needle.
• If desired, block the socks by lightly steaming to stretch them to the final shape.

Beginner Tips for a Great Chunky Slipper Socks

Common Mistakes (and How to Fix Them)

• My stitches are too tight. This often happens if you're holding the yarn too tightly. Try relaxing your tension and counting your stitches.
• The shape looks off. If your socks are not the right length, you might need to add or remove rows in the body section.
• I'm not sure how to seam properly. Check videos on whip stitching; practice can quickly improve your technique.
