This pattern will enable you to knit a pair of super cute, felted and sturdy wolf slippers. The slippers are very warm and comfortable and have a leather sole to make them non-slip on wooden floors or other slippery surfaces.

The pattern is for an advanced beginner level. Most of the pattern is basic knit stitch, with a small amount of purling required. There are several small seams that need to be sewed together and some simple embroidery for the eyes. The pattern calls for felting the slippers in the washing machine, which is not only fun but will ensure the slippers fit you perfectly.

The pattern is clearly written with charts and photos to guide you along the way. Instructions are included to make your own leather soles. I also sell pre-punched soles in my etsy store.

The pattern also includes information about the biology and ecology of gray wolves along with some nice photos of the real animals.
