Double Crocheting the Chains
In the third chain from the hook, make two double crochets. Continue double crocheting across the entire chain until only one chain remains. In the final chain, create six double crochets. This will turn you around to work on the backside of the chain.

Joining and Continuing the Double Crochet
Double crochet across all the chains until the final chain remains. In the final chain, create two double crochets. Join with a slip stitch to the first double crochet made. Chain one and make two half double crochets in each of the next two stitches.

-
Single Crocheting and Shaping the Front End
After the half double crochets, follow the pattern for each size to shape the front end of the slipper. For smaller sizes, single crochet in the next three stitches.

For size medium, half double crochet in the next nine stitches. And for size large, half double crochet in the next ten stitches. Then, make two half double crochets together in each of the two remaining stitches.
