That means scarves and coats and mittens and boots! Knitting season is officially on so why not start off with a super simple project to give your new fall outfits a little more refinement?
These boot cuffs can be made in just a couple of hours. Nothing fancy, but they are the perfect touch for those cute brown boots you've been waiting all summer to wear. You won't have to worry about bulky wool socks and hot feet when your boot cuffs are peeking out.
Here's what you need:
Bulky yarn -- less than one skein
Size 10, 16-inch circular needle
Darning needle
Cast on 48 stitches on your circular needle. Join the round, making sure not to twist the row.
K2, P2 around.
Repeat for 20 rounds.
Loosely cast off. Weave in ends.
Repeat for other cuff.
Wear as is or decorate with a cute button.
Easy as pie! Cute as cake?
love this! thanks for the pattern!

Hi!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cuffs!
I love the shoes, where did you buy them? (:
Thanks!
They are Rampage brand faux-leather boots and I bought them at Burlington Coat Factory.

I have a 24in circular needles, is there anyway I can still make these?
ReplyDeleteDear Irene,
DeleteIt's still possible to knit in the round with long circular needles. The technique is called Magic Loop knitting. I suggest searching YouTube for a visual tutorial, as it sounds confusing, but it's actually an efficient way to knit in the round. I prefer this method when knitting cuffs for socks or mittens as it goes by very quickly.
Thanks for your comment,

I am nervously starting these as a wee gift for my daughter-in-law. Hope they are as simple as they look.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheryll,
DeleteIf you can knit and purl then you should do fine.
Good luck and thanks for commenting,
Natasha
Is it possible to use knitting needles instead? Thanks
ReplyDeleteDear Marilyn,
DeleteThis pattern does use knitting needles. Do you mean straight needles as opposed to circular? You could definitely knit this pattern flat on straight needles and stitching them up at the end.
Sorry for the delayed reply. This is my old blog and I don't receive notification of comments.
Best of luck,
Natasha
Which bulky yarn did you use? Thank you
ReplyDeleteHello, sorry for the delayed reply. This is my old site and I no longer receive notifications of comments. I am afraid I don't remember what yarn I used for this pattern. Most bulky weight yarn would be fine. My favorite brand is Lamb's Pride Bulky.
