Equipment
- Size 7 circular needles (12″ to knit in the round, larger for knitting flat – or can use straight needles if knitting flat)
- Yarn needle if knit flat (to sew seam)
- Free pattern: Feather Lace Boot Topper by Paula McKeever
Materials
- About 130 yards worsted weight yarn (depending on how long you make the toppers),
Instructions
Pattern Adjustments for Boot Toppers
- Use size 7 needles for both the lace top and the ribbing.
- Use a worsted weight wool yarn.
- Knit the topper flat and then stitch the seam closed (I didn’t have 12″ circular needle- you may prefer knitting in the round).
- Knit only 2 lace pattern repeats before changing to rib pattern.
- Make the cuffs 6 inches long total.
- Use a regular, but loose, bind-off.
Notes
Sometimes when I finished the lace pattern I had lost stitches (I know, but it happens to the best of us!) and didn’t need to knit stitches together 3 times on the row before starting the ribbing – sometimes it was only 2, or 1, or even none. It seems to be a pretty forgiving pattern since I just proceeded, making sure I had 60 stitches for the ribbing section, and everything turned out.
