Bosnian-Siberian Slipper Pattern
Adaptation by snozzl21 of Nelly's Bosnian slippers/Nellys Bosnia tofflor
Sizing
rs are worn with negative ease, but are stretchy so are pretty forgiving on siz The cuff can be 1-2cm tall per your preference. The slipper upper should continue until it reaches about the first joint of your middle toes; this seems small as you're knitting but the sole wraps around the toes to provide a nice snug fit and pointy toe look. Size of the slippers can be adjusted by casting on more or less stitches and continuing for more or less fan pattern repeats. Any weight yarn can be used. Here are some sizing guidelines: Fingering yarn, size US W6-7 / EU 36-37: CO 62 & 11 fans Worsted/heavy worsted yarn, size US W8-9: CO 46 & 7 fans Worsted/heavy worsted yarn, size US W6-7 / EU 36-37: CO 42 & 6 fans
