Driftwood is one of those materials that straddles the line between beautiful and eerie. Wood that falls in the ocean is stripped bare by the water, eroded to a smooth touch until it washes back to shore. The Driftwood boot toppers use cables to mimic the weathered branches and roots that twist up and out from waterfronts across the world.

Sizes
There are four sizes in the pattern: 1 (25cm / 10” ankle circumference), 2 (27.5cm / 11” ankle circumference), 3 (30cm / 12” ankle circumference), and 4 (32.5cm / 13” ankle circumference).

The circumferences given are the size of the finished boot topper, which is designed to have 5cm / 2.5” of positive ease at the ankle. Choose your size by measuring your ankle and then adding 5cm / 2.5”. If between sizes, size up.
