Finish off and weave in the ends.

Fold the end in half and sew it together.

Make sure it’s turned like shown in the picture (click link above for pic) – with the seam finally facing inward.

Now for the edging:
Tie a yarn of the same or different color to the edge of the slipper.
That will make our first ‘stitch’.

Make 2 chain stitches.

Then make 1 single crochet into the next bigger (as I call it) ‘hole’.

Then make 1 chain stitch.

Continue this pattern (1 single crochet stitch; 1 chain stitch) along the edge of your slipper.

Finally, make 1 slip stitch to join with the first stitch.

Finish off end weave in the ends.
