To thank you all for coming by throughout the year

boot cuffs.
I wore them today to church with a skirt, leggings,
and boots,
and they kept me quite cozy despite the cold weather.

PATTERN
NOTES
Boot
cuffs are a great looking, stylish addition to your wardrobe. They knit up quickly, making them perfect for
gift giving as well. I have knit them
with straight needles, but the pattern could be easily converted to circular
knitting by omitting the selvedge stitch at the beginning and end of each row
and adjusting the knit and purl stitches accordingly.
DIRECTIONS
With
US 10 needles, loosely cast on 38 stitches.
Work in 2 x 2 rib as follows:
Rows 1 and 3 (WS): Purl 1,*knit 2, purl 2; repeat from * to last
stitch, purl 1.
Rows 2 and 4 (RS): Knit 1, *knit 2, purl 2; repeat from * to
last stitch, knit 1.
Switch
to US 11 needles. Begin cable pattern as
follows:
Rows 1, 3, 5, and 7 (WS): Purl 1, *knit 3, purl 9; repeat from * to
last stitch, purl 1.
Rows 2 and 6 (RS): Knit 1, *knit 9, purl 3; repeat from * to
last stitch, knit 1.
Row 4 (RS): Knit 1, *slip next 3
stitches to cable needle and hold in front, knit 3, knit 3 from cable needle,
knit 3, purl 3; repeat from * to last stitch, knit 1.
Row 8 (RS): Knit 1, *knit 3, slip next 3 stitches to
cable needle and hold in back, knit 3, knit 3 from cable needle, purl 3; repeat
from * to last stitch, knit 1.
Repeat
this 8 row cable pattern three times.
Switch
to US 10 needles and work in 2 x 2 rib as follows:
Rows 1 and 3 (WS): Purl 1,*knit 2, purl 2; repeat from * to last
stitch, purl 1.
Rows 2 and 4 (RS): Knit 1, *knit 2, purl 2; repeat from * to
last stitch, knit 1.

Thank you, Deb! My older girls just came home with one pair they had bought in a new boutique. They were quite expensive little things! I'm thrilled to be able to make up four pairs for my girls. (and me, too) ;o)

Thanks so much for the darling pattern! Can't wait to make it for my daughter. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this pattern; I have been looking high and low for one that is cute like these. :) What weight of bulky yarn did you use? I have a 5 oz. and am wondering if that may be too bulky. Thank you again! Wishing you a Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeletethank you so much for the great pattern. the yarn you used has such a lovely color/sheen. may i ask what it is?
ReplyDeletethank you again!
How much fun! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! Very sophisticated with the cables, and perfect for a snowy day!
