My First USM Slippers

Based on my memory of a hand-knit pattern used in childhood....these are stockinette around the foot and then ribbed around the toes.

KP 4, Caron One Pound
3.5 stitches to the inch; 5 rows to the inch
For a 9 inch x 10-1/2 inch rectangle:
Cast on 32. Knit for 52 rows. Convert the 11th stitch from each side to purl (to make the bend for the sides). Convert the area between the 11th stitches to 1x1 ribbing for the last 25 rows.
Run a needle through the stitches on the machine to cast off; pull tight to gather. Sew the top edge as far as the ribbing goes. Sew up back seam.
Repeat for second slipper.
