What shoe sizes do the soles accommodate?
The included cutting pattern is designed for three sizes, corresponding to European shoe sizes 18-41.
Do I need special equipment for the knitting instructions?

Can I use these soles for outdoor shoes?
These soles are intended for indoor footwear like slippers and slipper socks. They are not designed for outdoor use.
How do I attach a finished sock to the sole?
You can sew the opening edge of a finished sock directly onto the leather sole using a strong thread and a suitable needle.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather is not waterproof. It is designed for dry indoor conditions and should be kept away from excessive moisture.
What is the best way to clean the leather soles?
Gently wipe the soles with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the leather or using chemical cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Soles feel stiff
Leather may need a short break-in period. Wear with thick socks indoors for a few hours.
Difficulty sewing through leather
Use a heavy-duty needle suitable for leather and a strong thread. Consider a sewing awl for piercing holes if needed.
Inconsistent sizing when cutting
Ensure the pattern is traced accurately and cut with sharp scissors. Double-check measurements before cutting.
Yarn attachment is weak
Use a strong yarn and a secure stitch. Consider using a thicker yarn or multiple strands for sewing to the sole.
