Introduction
Hello Everyone! Tody’s Friday so we’re here with a new pattern.
With the winter months currently in full swing, I thought a cute pair of crochet boot cuffs would be a great project to make.
These can be tucked into your boots so the alpine stitch section peeks out of the top. They can also be worn by putting them on inside out and folding the alpine section over the top of your boot.
Either way, it helps keep your feet warm and stops snow from getting in your shoes!
These crochet boot cuffs were a lot of fun to make, can be made in an afternoon, and can be done in any color.
This can be great for last-minute gifts, along with a good item to stock craft fair booths with
I use Red Heart Super Saver in this pattern and for this project, I suggest sticking with that. Since these don’t touch your skin and go through some wear and tear Super Saver will hold up better than a lot of other yarns.

Conclusion
I hope you all enjoyed today’s pattern. As I said earlier this can be a great item for stocking your winter craft fair booths. They work up very quickly and Red Heart Super Saver has a lot of colors.
You can also easily adjust the size by adding more or less starting rows. As long as you end with an even number of rows the rest of the pattern will work up the same. This cuff is medium-sized and for a large, I’d Work 50 hdc rows, for a small I’d work 40.
