Kodiak bears are the largest subspecies of brown bear, which is very fitting considering how gigantic these slippers are before felting! The slippers are knit very large, then felted down to size, making them a one-size-fits-most project. These slipper bears are sure to ferociously protect your bare feet from chilly floors, rawr!

There is very little sizing required while knitting this pattern! The slipper knits up large, but at the end is felted down to size. Smaller feet will require more felting, larger feet will require less felting to obtain proper size. Because of this, small deviations from gauge are manageable. The pre-felt size of the slippers are about 11”/28cm, and they can be shrunk up to 5”/12cm smaller than the pre-felt length.

You must use 100% wool, no superwash, or the felting process will not work
