This pattern calls for two strands of yarn, pick out your favorite slipper colors. A multi-color and a mono-color yarn can pair well together.
I use a US-9 / 5-1/2mm needle set and 4-ply yarn for this work.
There are improvements that could be made, but this pattern holds true to her notes.

Once done cut the thread leaving enough length to sew up the seam. Gather the threads on a needle and pull tight to close the toe, then sew up the seam.
Ankle sizes differ, but stitch 1/3 to 1/2 of the way back to the base.
Finally, stitch the ankle together using your initial thread and tie off.
Repeat for the other slipper.
