These little boot cuffs were designed to work with ankle boots, so they are a bit smaller than needed for mid-calf or knee-high boots. However, the pattern may be modified as needed to accommodate whatever size is desired.

The finished cuff size should be about 1” smaller than the actual leg measurement. The crocheted ribbing is designed to give the cuff a bit of stretch.

• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

Sizes

• Size 1 – 9” circumference
• Size 2 – 10” circumference
• Size 3 – 11” circumference

Sizes are indicated in parentheses. For example, if the pattern states that there will be a total of (36, 40, 44) SC made, this means that size 1 calls for 36 SC, size 2 calls for 40 SC, and size 3 calls for 44 SC.

Construction Notes

The boot cuff is first worked flat to make the ribbing, then joined. The granny stripes are then worked in the round. Pattern is worked in multiples of 4. For example, Size 3 has 44 rows of ribbing. This will result in an extra inch in circumference and 11 granny clusters being worked instead of the 10 granny clusters for Size 2.

Conversely, working 36 rows of ribbing for Size 1 will result in a 9” circumference and 9 granny clusters being worked instead of the 10 granny clusters for Size 2. You may need a second skein of yarn for Size 3. I was able to make two cuffs from one skein, but it was close.

Special Stitch: Picot

CH 3 and SL ST into the bump on the back of the 1st CH (3rd CH from hook).

Turn the ribbing inside out. You do not need to cut the yarn.
