The Bianca Crochet Boot Cuffs

Design + Construction

Creating a pair of crochet boot cuffs need be no more difficult than crocheting a hat. The Bianca Boot Cuffs are no exception.

Begin with a ribbing cuff that’s worked entirely of single crochets in the back loop only. Without cutting the yarn, you’ll proceed directly to the body of the cuff.

The main feature of these beautiful crochet boot cuffs is its unusual texture. The Puffs & Grannies of the cuff body, an easily worked stitch pattern, provides cozy texture that feels intentional and chic. 

While the stitch pattern looks complicated and intricate, it’s actually quite simple and intuitive, featuring the granny stitch, the puff stitch and the crossed granny stitch. None of these stitches are complicated alone and their combination in the Puffs & Grannies 4-round repeat creates endless visual interest and texture.

Yarn + Hook

These crochet boot cuffs can be worked in any worsted weight yarn you choose. Because of the beautiful texture of the Puffs & Grannies pattern in the body of the cuff, you’ll want a yarn with just a little halo so the stitch definition shines through. Plus, a bit of stretch is essential for these crochet boot cuffs for the perfect fit.

Lion Brand “Heartland” 100% premium acrylic worsted weight (5oz/251yd; 142g/230m)

Lion Brand’s Heartland is my all-time favorite choice for so many crochet projects. The beautifully curated selection of colors, all based on iconic American landmarks, gives you a  wide array to choose from. The yarn itself is soft to work with and has just enough of the necessary stretch for these crochet boot cuffs.

While Lion Brand recommends a 5.5 mm hook for Heartland, I used a 5mm (US size H-8) hook instead. The smaller hook size ensures the right amount of structure, especially for the body of the cuff.

Yarn Substitution

While I made my crochet boot cuffs with Heartland, you may have another yarn in mind.

3. Pay close attention to when the instructions say to “turn” or “do not turn“.
4. Each cuff is worked in one piece without cutting the yarn.

Pattern Instructions

Ribbing

Row 1: Fsc 10 OR ch 11, sc in the 2^nd ch from the hook and in each ch across, turn. < 10 sc >

Rows 2-42 (51, 57): Ch 1, sc BLO in the same st and in each st across. < 10 sc BLO >

The ribbing should measure approx. 2.5″ wide x 10.5 (13, 14.25)” before stretching. The sc BLO is stretchy and should easily expand to fit your calf comfortably. However, you may want to try it on (without wearing your boot) to see if you need to make any adjustments.

Do not fasten off. Bring the ends together with Row 1 behind the final row worked. Slip st the ends together, working through the beg ch of Row 1 and the back loop of Row 42 (51, 57). At the end of the seam, do not fasten off. Turn so the seam is on the inside of the ribbing. Proceed to the Body.
