Easy Bootcuffs




This is a quick and easy boot cuff pattern. One size fits most, but length is easily adaptable by adding or subtracting the beginning number of chains and width is easily adaptable by adding or subtracting in multiples of 2 rows. The bottom portion is crocheted in rows, joined together, and then the top portion is added in the round.
This cuff is made all in one piece, so do not cut yarn until entire cuff is complete, unless you are changing colors.


Materials:
6.0 mm (J) hook
About 2 ounces worsted weight yarn 

scissors
yarn needle for weaving in ends

Abbreviations:
ch- chain
dc- double crochet
blo dc- back loop only double crochet sl st- slip stitch
sc- single crochet


Pattern:
Ch 14
Row 1: dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across to end (12 dc), turn
Row 2: ch 2 (does not count as a stitch) and blo dc in same stitch and in each stitch across (12 blo dc), turn Rows 3-16: repeat row 2

At end of row 16, (do not cut yarn) measure around where you will wear boot cuff and add by multiples of 2 rows if needed.
Match up sides, right sides out, ch 1, and sl st together to form bottom portion of cuff. (12 sl st)

Round 1: ch 1, sc evenly around top of boot cuff, (2 sc for each dc, if you crocheted 16 rows you will have 32 sc, 18 rows, 36 sc, etc.)
Join with sl st to first sc.

Round 2: Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in next stitch and in each stitch around (You will have same dc count as sc count from round 1). Join with sl st to top of ch 3.
Round 3: Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in same stitch 4 times, skip next stitch, sc in next stitch, skip next stitch, dc 5 times in next stitch, repeat from around and after last 5 dc, skip 1 stitch, sc in next stitch, and sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3, cut yarn, pull through loop on hook, tighten and weave in ends.
Repeat pattern for second boot cuff.

  1. Making these for a Christmas present. Not really sure the size needed. So I hope staying with 16 rows works she's petite in size....
