Bestla boot toppers are a warm and playful addition to your favourite boots. The fair isle pattern adds a splash of colour to any outfit, and will keep your legs cozy even in the depth of winter.

The boot toppers can be made in a wide range of sizes to fit most calves. They work best in a yarn that has some stretch to it. The brown/pink sample is worked in 4 strands of 2/30NM Colourmart Merino (colours 039923, 98388, 13732, 14326 and 152345). The pink/green sample is worked in Jamieson & Smith 2ply wool (colours 43, 52, 65, 75 and 202).

Bestla is named after one of Saturn’s moons.
