Beaded and Lacy Boot Cuffs

This is a pattern for a pair of boot cuffs. They are knit with a lace stitch that’s complimented by beads throughout. The interior ribbing is guaranteed to keep you warm, while the exterior will adorn your boots in a style that is not only beautiful but will let the world know that you are an expert knitter. These boot cuffs require under one skein of heavy weight fingering yarn (or very light sport weight yarn), using just under 300 yards.

There are directions contained within the pattern for the easiest way that I know of to add beads to your knitting.  If you want to learn to knit with beads, this is a particularly good pattern.  You will need 1 6inch tube of Japanese size #6 seed beads, and an optional Big Eye Needle.

The pattern is written for a size Medium/ 14 inches around, measured at the top of your calf, just under the knee. If you want to make them larger or smaller, increase or decrease by 6 stʼs as needed.
