Here’s a video showing how to work the Instep and Upper Foot on the Cadeautje Slippers by Ysolda Teague. The video starts after having complete the toe cap. I revised the pattern instructions to make them easier to understand, and they’re written out here below the video. These instructions replace the “Instep and Upper Foot” section in the pattern.
