Oh how I wish I could wear tall boots with cuffs!
But I think they are for skinny legs only…
So I made them for a thin, young friend of mine for Christmas.
The great story that goes with these::
Last summer, this friend gave me a tin full of old buttons that used to belong to her grandmother.
Guess where the buttons came from? Yeah, totally cool.
The pattern by Crochet Dreamz can be found here. And here is the post.
Have a ridiculously amazing day!

Lol I’m the exact opposite – my legs are too skinny for those kind of boots! I call them “chicken legs” because they just look like sticks. Boots must be made for people in the middle…?

Oh my gosh. I am making these very ones right now and I plan on wearing them on these fat calves of mine with my tall wide top boots. Of course, we’ll see for sure since I haven’t tried them on yet. 🙂 Hugs, Tamara

I’m totally with you – I’d loooove to be able to wear tall skinny boots with those gorgeous cuffs, but alas I have whopper calves! I have to buy shorter boots or “generous calf” sized boots with reams of elastic! Thanks for pointing me in the direction of Crochet Dreamz! xoxoxox

I saw a woman in Costco today wearing chic boots with cuffs peeking over the top and I thought, “She looks really put together.” But I’d be willing to bet that her cuffs weren’t crocheted with love and embellished with family heirloom vintage buttons.

I agree with your commenters, There is a boot cuff for everyone! How about one that is more delicate lace than sweatery… a little lace peeking out of a boot is super sexy in my opinion, almost like a glimpse at a lady’s underwear. You can whip up a little filagree lace and hand sew it on to the top of any sock (cut off the foot of the sock and voila- you are in business!) Or repurpose the sleeve of an old sweater for the task. I have even come across a pair with a delicate ribbon woven through the lace and tied with a cute bow… almost like garters.
Love your work! Imaginitive and beautiful. I am new to the world of blogging but not new to arts of knit and crochet, I tip my hat to you.
