Materials:
- I (5.5mm) and H (5.0mmm) crochet hook, scissors - Your favorite Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Vanna's Choice) Boot Cuffs (Make 2) Main Part: Start with I hook. Ch 14 R1: turn, skip 2 ch, hdc in the remaining stitches. (12 hdc) R2: Ch 2, turn, hdc in BL0 across. (12 hdc) Repeat R2 until the stretched cuff fts around the widest part of your calf. (My calf is 14” and I crochet a total of 19 rows) Ch 1, turn slip stitch both ends of the cuff together. Do not fasten off. Make sure the right side is facing you (where you slip stitched the cuff to form a circle will be inside) Now using H (5.00mm) hook: Ch 1, sc in the end of each row of the cuff, join. Ch 1, sc in each st around, join. (repeat 4x) Fasten off. Weave in ends. Top Cuff: Use I (5.5mm) hook. Join the yarn, Ch 2, hdc in the end of each row of the cuff, Ic in each st around, join. Fasten off. Weave in end:
Suggestions: To change the look of your boot cuffs, add a scalloped edge to the top. Join the yarn with a sl st,skip 2 stitches,dc 5 into the 3rd st, skip 2 stitches, sl st. Repeat all the way around your boot cuff, but before you are all the way to the end, count the stitches to make sure you have an even look. You might need to skip 3 stitches instead of 2 to end evenly. Fasten off. Weave in the ends. Enjoy!
