A quick weekend project for winter weather forecasts
Knit in the round cuff down

These toppers were designed to facilitate the tidy tucking of my pant legs into my boots. With slush inevitable during the winter months, I want my boots to protect the bottom of my pant legs. I needed something to gather the fabric of my pants in a stylish way to get my pant legs into my boots. Rather than just tying a strap around my calf muscle I designed a stylish boot topper to do the work of keeping my pant leg inside my boot. They look a bit like heavy socks without the bulk.

There is enough negative ease in this size to work with my short boots and my tall boots. My legs remain cozy and my pant legs are slush free.

And you get a free pattern.

Enjoy,
Carla
