I used Caron Simply Soft, in white, and I used Caron Simply Soft, in bone for the sole trim. Any 4-ply would work.
round 1: chain 2, foundation 8 hdc stitches, 4hdc in the last stitch created, 1 hdc in each stitch across for 6 stitches. 4 hdc in last stitch. join beginning stitch (22hdc)
round 2: chain 1. 2 hdc, 1hdc in next six stitches, 2hdc, 1hdc, 2hdc, 1hdc, 2hdc, 1hdc in next six stitches, 2hdc, 1hdc, 2hdc, 1hdc, join with first hdc. (28 hdc)
round 3: 1hdc in each stitch, working in back stitch, join (28hdc)

Finish off. Weave in ends.
Toe: Find the middle-front, count back 6 stitches and attach yarn with slip-stitch, ch 2, working the 12 front stitches yo and insert in each 12 stitches (you will have 12 loops on hook), yo and pull through all loops on hook. Tie off. Leave extra tail to secure more than usual.
Strap: Count 3 from toe, attach with slip-stitch, foundation 6 hdc, chain 4 for button loop, attach to last hdc. Tie off.
Weave in ends. Attach button.
I slip-stitched a second color around the sole.
I haven’t attached the buttons yet. I need to find the right button!
I found this on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKVpKx5qMAg
It’s a great video, but I modified it to my liking so it was less like a boot and more like a slipper.
