Continue knitting the remaining columns and every time your each the end take two loops. Keep going until you have L red columns for the face.

E: Create the base #

1. Create the base by adding an extra row for every 2 columns and then once at the peak reduce a row for every two columns until you have the shape shown below. You might need to adjust how often you add/reduce, 2 works for most slippers.

F: Attach the base #

1. Sow the base onto the slipper
