I found a link to an easy store where they were $30. Um riiiight. So I decided to make my own and I want to share the pattern with you -- it's quick and easy and you could make them in all colors!
[This is my in-progress boot cuff, still had 1/3 of the way to go but had to share it! That's why it's flaring out on the front -- it's not sewn shut yet!]
I used Lion Brand Yarn, Nature's Choice organic cotton because it's soft and fluffy. I like thicker yarns for these. The off white color is called almond. My crochet hook was a size K.
SC=single crochet, CH=chain, TC=treble crochet, SL=slip stich
So here we go:
Chain 11
SC in second chain from the hook and remaining, total 10 SC. Ch 1, turn
SC next two rows for 10, then CH 1 and turn
----This is three rows of SC----
TC one row, CH 1 and turn
*SC three rows, CH 1 at the end of each row and turn
TC one row, CH 1 at the end and turn*
Repeat ** until you have appropriate width for your calf (I ended up with 7 total rows of TC)
Once it's wide enough, cut yarn about 12" tail, SL the first stitch, and using a large needle, sew the two edge together.
Voila! Boot warmers! And because the stitched are so wide, this project goes FAST!
This was in the car on the way back from the UT Bama game with white yarn, not the organic fluffy cotton. :) Had to practice with something!
