I've just responded in the comments to Sheena's very similar question - if you're still knitting these slippers, take a peek and hopefully my explanation can help out!sam lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436015742236304907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13994708.post-39887388847229548632014-11-02T18:00:16.173-05:002014-11-02T18:00:16.173-05:00@Sheena Neil It's been a while since I knit th...@<a href="#c6639645123942751293" rel="nofollow">Sheena Neil</a> It's been a while since I knit these, but I'll try to explain it! You should have 39 stitches before you focus on those inner 13, so try to imagine that the 39 stitches are divided by 3 (13 to the left, 13 in the centre, 13 to the right). To get to those centre 13 stitches, you'll have to knit across 26 of the 39, then turn your work, and then only knit 13 stitches. Then you would turn again, K13, turn again, K13 and so on until the flap is long enough. This will create a long flap, and yes - you will have 13 stitches on either side of this flap just sitting on your needle. Because I worked in the round, these unworked stitches just sat on my DPNs while I worked the tongue.<br /><br />I hope that helps! If not, let me know and I can try to explain in another way. Good luck!sam lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436015742236304907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13994708.post-66396451239427512932014-11-02T17:39:54.975-05:002014-11-02T17:39:54.975-05:00@brian almaguer

Patterns says it is worked on the 13 centre stitches then says to knit 26. Where are the additional 13 stitches coming from?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374031799924427789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13994708.post-13115911093103233632014-08-01T00:21:42.829-04:002014-08-01T00:21:42.829-04:00I just started them and was about to start the ton...I just started them and was about to start the tongue, but don't understand the instructions. Can you explain it? I tried to work it but had one side building up and 13 stitches at one end just sitting there...is that how it should go?

I'm going to knit a pair for myself, too. And very likely my husband.<br /><br />I knit them in the round as well and used two circ to pick and knit the foot. My tongue was garter stitch tho in order to maximise the heat retention. We didn't lose power but the last couple days of -20 and worse temps in S. Ontario have bested the furnace and we're averaging 15C in the house. <br /><br />I'm going to pick up suede bottoms from Michaels and sew them on to make sure they last. <br /><br />My Rav project page where you can see my versions are here: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/mamaloomamaloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008463722100685824noreply@blogger.com
