FINISHING Weave in ends. Embroidery Using photos as guides, work spider web embroidery on foot and on stockinette st section of leg. Note: It is important to use a blunt tip needle for spider web stitch -- a pointed needle is difficult to use because it will pierce the thread you are weaving on. You can also use the back end of a sharp pointed needle to weave. Step 1: Build the base for the spider web You must have an odd number of spokes in order for the weaving to work -- 5, 7 or 9 work well. Bring yarn up in the center of the circle (A), and make a stitch from B to A. Continue in the same way to make stitches all the way around the outside of the circle to the center (from C to A, D to A, etc.) Step 2: Begin Weaving Come up in the center of the spokes. Step 3: Fill in the spokes Weave over and under every other spoke, spiraling outward until the entire shape is filled. Pack the stitches down as the spokes fill up to create a filled-in weaving. As you weave and pack down the yarn, the spokes disappear under the weaving. End by drawing the yarn through to the back side under a spoke and finish off. If you are a knitter who hasn't ever done embroidery before, never fear! It is easy -- especially when you are using wool which fills in nicely and covers up mistakes. When you first start the spider webs, they won't look like much. Keep weaving around the base spokes and fill them solidly. The spider webs will become puffy and slightly sculptural. CORD The cord can be either knitted or crocheted. Crocheted Method: Using 1 strand each of A and C held together, work a crochet chain approx. 30 inches long. Make a second tie in the same way. Knitted Method: Using 1 strand each of A and C held together, CO 60 sts, then BO all sts. Make a second tie in the same way. Using photos as guides, thread ties through eyelets. Using pompom maker, make 4 pompoms. Attach to ends of ties. Using desired color and whip stitch, sew slipper feet into suede slipper bottoms.
