Design and Construction

These slippers are knitted seamlessly from the cuff down, featuring a double-layered design that enhances warmth and durability. The construction involves knitting in the round using circular and double-pointed needles, followed by a felting process that creates a dense, sturdy fabric. The pattern includes a star-toe finish, providing a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing shape.

Sizing

The pattern accommodates a wide range of European shoe sizes, from children’s size 25/26 to adult size 44/46. Each size specifies the length before and after felting, ensuring a proper fit:

• Size 25/26: Length before felting: 22 cm; after felting: 15 cm.
• Size 44/46: Length before felting: 42 cm; after felting: 30 cm.

This detailed sizing information allows knitters to create slippers that fit various foot sizes accurately.
