Basic chunky knitted slippers

I had a ball of Bernat Blanket Ombré yarn I didn't know what to do with so I knitted a pair of slippers with it tonight ... I figured they would be warm and cozy.  I used this pattern and adapted it a bit so I'd have less seams to sew up afterwards.  I used 6.5mm needles and made a small size slipper.   They are quick and easy.

Sizes:
To fit lady’s shoe size 5/6 (7/8 - 9/10).

Finished Foot length
Small 5/6 - 9" (23 cm)
Medium 7/8 - 9½" (24 cm)
Large 9/10 - 10½" (26.5 cm)

Abbreviations:
Beg = Beginning
Inc = Increase 1 stitch by knitting into front and back of next stitch
K = Knit
K2tog = Knit next 2 stitches together
