This pattern includes instructions for Child/Women's 5/6, Women's 7/8, Women's 9/10 (Men's 7/8), Women's 11/12 (Men's 9/10), & Women's 13/14 (Men's 11/12). These also pair well with my "CLASSIC" finished suede soles that can be purchased in my Etsy Shop if you are nervous about cutting and preparing your own natural soles. Flexibility in yarn choices are also fun. This pattern calls for any Super Bulky #6 yarn. I like to use Malabrigo "Rasta" or Lionbrand 'Wool Ease Thick & Quick". Some of my testers used blanket yarns size #6 and although they turned out puffier, they were still very cozy. Finishing options are also included. The pattern accounts for an elastic ankle opening, but includes brief lacing or faux fur finishing instructions. Leather or cotton laces woven in between every second stitch can be tightened with a bead or tied in a bow at the front. Use 1 colour or up to 4 different colours of your choosing.
