Day 4 of the 12 days of DIY gifts to make presents a simple boot cuffs to make for anyone who likes these types of things.
This pattern can be easily adjustable, as long as you keep the numbers even. This cuff is about 9 inches however it can stretched be up to 13 inches.
This is a hot item this winter and these can be done in few hours while watching TV. Because people have different calf sizes, having good measurements to start will help with a better fit overall.
Please do not post this pattern on your website or take it as your own. I ask that you instead link to my page, which will help with internet karma. Please note you can use this pattern for personal use and sell what you make. I only ask that you credit me as the pattern creator and link to this article. Thank you.
