The crochet pattern for these rustic Sugar Maple boot cuffs is quick and easy to make, so there’s no guilt involved in taking the time to make something for yourself for once! Dress these boot cuffs up with the addition of cute lacy socks underneath, or wear them “as is” for a functional look that is anything but boring!

Because these are designed with small repeats, it should be fairly easy to make these to fit a variety of calf sizes. I’ve included rough estimates below, in the notes section.

Finish them with ribbons, or crochet a tie and put small pom-poms on the end for a completely different, yet totally cute look!

Aren’t these adorable? There are so many fun ways to wear them! I know they’ll look great on you!

Difficulty:

Easy

Materials Needed:

4mm (G) hook, or hook needed to obtain gauge

1 skein Lion Brand Heartland in “Grand Canyon”

Yarn needle

Scissors

1 1/2 yards of ¼” or 3/8” ribbon

(Optional) Small pom-pom maker

Stitches Used:

ch = chain

sl st = slip stitch

sc = single crochet

hdc = half double crochet

dc = double crochet

FPhdc = front post half double crochet

BPhdc = back post half double crochet

Additional Terms:

Small Puff Stitch: YO, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, YO, insert hook into same stitch, pull up a loop 2 more times. YO and pull through all 7 loops.

Stitching in the “3rd loop” of hdc. After turning, work all stitches for that row in the 3rd loop of the hdc from previous row (it will be in the front). Instructions: Look at the top of the stitch, and locate the sideways “V”, bend the stitch to look at the back*, and you should see another “V”. You’ll be working into the back loop of that “V”, this is called the 3rd loop. *When working in rows, this loop will be facing you!

Gauge:

15 stitches in 4”

Measurements:

6 ½” tall when completed. Width will vary based on your calf circumference.

Additional Notes:

ch-1 at the beginning of the row/round does not count as a stitch.

Each row 3-8 each repeat should be 2 1/4 inches long. You will need to have a rough idea of the size of the calf of the person you are making this for. Here are some rough estimates to help you out:

X-Small/older child: 4 total repeats (including first repeat)

Small: 5 total repeats (including first repeat)

Medium: 6 total repeats (including first repeat)

Large: 7 total repeats (including first repeat)

XL: 8 total repeats (including first repeat)

Sugar Maple Boot Cuffs Pattern (US Terms):

Row 2: working in 3rd loop of hdc, hdc in each stitch across, place final hdc in top of ch 2 from previous row, ch 3 (counts as first dc of next row), turn (15)

Row 3: small puff stitch in next stitch, *ch 1, skip stitch, small puff stitch in next stitch* repeat * to * 6 times, dc in final stitch of row, ch 1 turn (15)

Row 4: sc in each stitch across. Place final sc of row in the top of ch 3, ch 3, turn (15)

Repeat rows 3 to 8 until the piece wraps around your calf, leaving approximately a 1” gap. Note: each repeat should be 2 1/4 inches long.

Repeat rows 3-6 one more time.

Fasten off and weave in end.

Fold rectangle in half, and use tail to sew up the side of the cuff.



Work next section around the edge of the boot cuff

Top Edge:

Attach yarn to one end of the cuff.

Row 1: ch 1, hdc evenly around the cuff. Your stitch count will vary based on how many row 3-6 repeats you did. An even number, divisible by 2, is what you should aim for. On my boot cuffs I had 40 hdc stitches (My calves measure about 13” around with is a women’s small). Join with sl st to first hdc

Row 2: ch 1, working in the 3rd loop of hdc, dc in each stitch around. Join with sl st to first hdc. Your stitch count should be the same as it was in row 1.

Row 3: ch 1, hdc in each stitch around. Join with sl st to first hdc. Your stitch count should be the same as it was in row 1.

Row 4: ch 1, working in the 3rd loop of hdc, hdc in each stitch around. Join with sl st to first hdc. Your stitch count should be the same as it was in row 1.

Fasten off and weave in ends

Bottom Edge:

Attach yarn to other end of cuff.

Row 1: Evenly space the same number of sc stitches as you did hdc stitches at the top of the cuff. For instance, if your top number was 40 then your bottom number should also be 40.

Row 2: ch 1, FPhdc around first stitch, BPhdc around next stitch *FPhdc around first stitch, BPhdc around next stitch* join with sl st to first FPhdc. Your stitch count should be the same as it was in row 1.

Row 3: FPhdc around first FPhdc, hdc in next stitch, *FPhdc around next FPhdc, hdc in the next stitch* Join with sl st to first FPhdc. Your stitch count should be the same as it was in row 1.

Row 4: ch 1, sc in each stitch around, join with sl st to first sc

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Ties:

Weave ribbon through the top of your cuff. Put the boot cuff on your leg, and tie the ribbon. Cut it to the length you’d like. If you are gifting this to someone, leave enough length for them to trim off if they would like.

OR

Crochet a chain 24” long (or the length you prefer), sl st back along the chain. Fasten off and weave in ends. Make 2 of these. Thread them through the row of dc near the top of the cuff. Make 2 small pom-poms and attach them securely to the ends of the ties.
