Widen 2 stars every other row until you have 10 rows 2 rows without widening, then widen in the next.
There will be 13 rows in all, and 20 stars in this last row, now divide front and work 20 stars on either half for the sides; fit around sole by stretching and sew up the back on the wrong side. The wool or thread should be broken at the end of each row. (Crochet should not be worked backward and forward unless directions are given to that effect.)
For a frill around the slippers work groups of 6 ch st two more rows of the same. I always sew my slippers onto the soles after being finished, by overcasting with wool of the same shade on the right side, which saves stretching the slippers all out of shape when turning them.
