Crochet Boot Cuffs

Here is something that I saw in a store once and fell in love with it. But of course it was knitted and I can’t knit but I can crochet ! whohoo!!

So of course I decided, as I always do with all of my creations, to crochet my version of boot cuffs. What a great idea ..again you can use left over yarn that will be enough to make a pair.

Measure your calf or part of it because if you don’t they will be too tight.

So I crochet a simple single crochet til I get about 2 inches wide (this part you don't see it's covered inside the boot) and then I did a cluster crochet stitch (appx 18 rows of this) which is the part you see outside of the boot.  Both cuffs I used acrylic yarn from Red Heart of which I purchased at AC Moore.

These I truly love to make in solid colors or like this one you see here it's a combination colored yarn.  Again, I used leftover yarn that actually would give enough to make a pair and if not hey by all means use a new skein of yarn that is perfectly fine too.

You can make these as long as you want inside the boot (like a leg warmer) or short like I did. 

Enjoy making these and sharing them with friends for the holidays.

Crochet Cuff #2

So awhile back I had mentioned I started to crochet a some cuff's.  Well I have two more to show you today.

When I make these remember I make them on what I personal like about a crochet cuff. Not everyone is going to like my style but I hope it can inspire you to make your own if anything.



Crochet Cuff
color: Foliage

This one in green (yarn is by Caron, Merino Wool Blend, color: foliage) that you see I purchased the center bead/charm and the yarn from Michaels Arts & Craft store and it was on clearance (nice!) This time I didn't sew a fabric  to the back.  I decided to do that to give the yarn the wiggle room for stretching and also to make it a little bit different.  I used the same yarn to string the smaller seed beads.    I also used the snap clips (3 of them) so that can you fasten it to your wrist. 

The pink/fushia color one is crochet in the same stitch except I pin a pretty lavender pin this way you can remove it when you want to.  The has the same snap clips to button on and no fabric backing.

All of my cuffs measure 7 1/2 inches long by 2 inches wide.

Each were crochet with my single crochet technique and all the beads were hand sewn on.

I hope you like it and hopefully it inspires you to use up your leftover yarn.

So the last time I mentioned to you that I was finishing a crochet cuff...I finally got it done.  Believe it or not all I needed to finish on the blue one was the sewn on snaps (which I finally got from Michaels Arts & Craft store) and the fabric I already had just had to sew it on. 

This idea came to me because I love jewelry and sometimes I want something that is a bit bohemian chic if you know what I mean.  So have seem cuff's in leather and lace but didn't really see too many that were crochet.  So as I have mentioned before I become curious and interested in wanting to see how I can do something like this.  You know the saying necessity is the mother of invention.   I actually have several of these already done I just need to decide if I am going to add beads or buttons or nothing to them. 

I also wanted to see how I can use leftover beads (orphan beads as they are called) and/or leftover fabric that can have some life still left in it.  And it just seem a great idea to do these.
