Boot toppers are like socks, but without the bulk. Shorter than leg warmers, they are worn over pants and pulled up so the tops will show under a boot; they keep drafts out and fashion in! These boot toppers have cables with a longer rib on one end (with a stylish button) to change up the look: either the cabled end or the ribbing with button will show. Your choice! Made from wool or a wool blend, they have a rustic, hand-made look, perfect for a snowy day!

This pattern is written for someone who can knit, purl and cast off. Instructions for the cast on and cable stitch are included. It is full of detailed instructions and photos; it also includes a short video if downloaded from my Etsy page.
