Crochet boot cuffs - with pattern

There’s one thing I LOVE about fall: Boot cuffs!

Boot cuffs have been popular as a way to accessorize your boots. So we decided to bring to you this quick pattern for a pair of easy boot cuffs!

This pattern comes in two varieties: One has scalloped edges (in red) and the other has a straighter finished edge (in white). The base is the same for both.

Crochet boot cuff pattern

Hook: H, 5.0mm
Yarn: Worsted weight, acrylic
Size: Scallops measures 4.5” tall. Without scallops, 5” tall

Fasten off and weave in ends

Without scallops
Row 11: sc around, ch 1
Row 12: HDC around, ch 1
Row 13: sc in horizontal bar in back of previous row around
Fasten off and weave in ends.

If you are having trouble finding the horizontal bar, insert your hook behind the front and back loops of a stitch and into the front of your work. The bar should be directly under your hook. Now, go under this bar and push your hook to the back of the work again, yarn over, draw the yarn up and under the bar, and finish your single stitch.

These boot cuffs will be about 5.25” wide when finished but can easily stretch over 6” because of the acrylic yarn used. If you are going to use a different type of yarn, make sure it has enough give to stretch around your leg. You may have to increase the starting chains to make your boot cuffs wider.
