I have become obsessed with making boot cuffs lately. I made a pair for myself and loved them, and then made some more and sold out of them at my last craft fair. I was making a simple pattern boot cuff with just stockinette and ribbed stitching, but recently I have been switching it up a little and starting to create my own variations. Here is a pattern for one of the variations I made, it uses a simple lace pattern to add some elegance. Enjoy and please message me if you see mistakes or need clarification! Happy knitting!
