            \n
          • 1 square = Toe<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • 2 squares = Sides (folded up and joined around heel and ankle)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Assembly Instructions:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Toe<\/strong>: Choose one square for the front.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Side Squares<\/strong>: Fold the other two squares slightly and attach them on either side of the toe square.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Use sl st or whip stitch<\/strong> to seam the squares together on the wrong side<\/strong>, forming a slipper-like shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Back Heel Join<\/strong>: Seam the two back ends of the side squares together to close the heel area.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
