If you like crochet accessories to keep you warm when the weather is cold, this pair of crochet boot cuffs are exactly what you need!
The Snowdrop Boot Cuffs begin with simple rows of single crochet worked into the back loops only, creating a fabric that shows lots of texture.
Once the total circumference of the cuff is reached (the part that will fit around your leg), you’ll seam the last row together to form a tube shape!
This tube will be a bit stretchy, helping you to comfortably slide your cuffs on and off all winter long.
After the tube is formed, you’ll work alternating rounds of bobble and single crochet stitches.
If you’ve never worked a bobble before don’t worry, we have a video tutorial you can watch to learn how!
A great thing about wearing boot cuffs is that they can be styled so many different ways:
- Around the ankles, or anywhere along the leg or calf.
- Over tights, leggings, pants, or socks.
- These are easy to adjust in length and width, for the perfect style and fit.
These are a great pattern because:
- Chunky yarn helps to make quick crochet work – these boot cuffs will be ready in no time!
- The easy repetition of this fabric means you can relax and enjoy working up the fabric!
- Don’t have any bulky weight yarn? Try holding two smaller weights together, and measure as you go, until you get the right gauge and size!
- You’ll get to practice a lot of crochet skills: Simple rows, stitch tension, stitch counting and recognition, Bobbles, seams, joins, and more!
