Before the next row, pick up the first row of stitches and place them back on the pegs. Just like making a brim. Every peg should have 2 loops on them except the peg where the yarn is coming from. Now row 13 ewrap knit back to peg 1. Just like a making a brim of a hat, lift both loops over the pegs.

Ewrap knit 2 rows. Next row & heel. (I used the short row heel method from pegs 6 to 18. I didn't lift & slip stitches off the pegs. you can if you want. I do hear it makes it tighter heal per my friend Cathi. (She tested this pattern for me.) Row 3 Ewrap knit pegs 2 to 18. (Decreasing heel) Wrap around peg 18, so peg 18 will have 2 loops on it. Knit to peg 6 wrap around peg 6, so peg 6 will have 2 loops on it. Knit to peg 17. Wrap around peg 17, so peg 17 will have 2 loops on it. Knit to peg 7. Wrap around peg 7, so peg will have 2 loops on it. Knit to peg 16. Wrap around peg 16, so peg 16 will have 2 loops on it.) Knit to peg 8. Wrap around peg 15, so peg 15 will have 2 loops on it.

Pick up the previous stitches from on pegs 6 and 18 and place them on the adjacent pegs next to them 5 and 19.

Start ewrap knitting in the round again (Treating Wrap both loops as one on peg 5) as long as you may need. I made mine 30 rows because I wanted them roomy. You could also use a ruler to measure the slipper or after 15-20 rows you can slip your foot into the slipper to see how far you need to go.
Closing the slipper:
I used the gathering cast off method. Just like you would close a hat.
