With all of this cold weather, I have become quite the warm weather accessory girl! From knitting scarves, to DIY earwarmer headbands, I have become obsessed. Today’s project is no less addicting, and it is super quick! How about some quick DIY Knitted Boot Cuffs? Let’s go!
First of all, this is not a LONG project, or even a HARD project. This is one of those projects you can whip up and wear in about 30-45 minutes, TOPS. Seriously, who doesn’t love quick and easy?
Ready to get started? I’ve made an easy to follow video for you! I have found videos are much easier to follow than pictures. I just learn better from videos.
DIY Knitted Boot Cuffs
Supplies that you are going to need for this project:
- Loom and Loom tool
- Crochet hook
- A Bulky (5) yarn (I’m using Lion Brand in Rococo)
- A few buttons to accessorize!
A few things to remember when you are making these: For one, the thicker the yarn, the more “stretch” the yarn will have to it. You want these to be a little “snug” so they don’t fall down. Measure your calf where you will have your knitted boot cuffs and make sure you allow for the stretch….meaning shave a little off of the measurement. Not too much, you may be wearing these over thick socks and jeans! You just want to make sure they stay up.
These are really so quick and easy, and such a cute and fun way to dress up your outfit and boots. (It also reminds me of the days of Olivia Newton-John and leg warmers…but I am glad these are a bit smaller.) What’s better, they can really make a cute outfit POP!
Grab your loom, click the video above, and let’s start working on our new DIY Knitted Boot Cuffs. Looking for more fun diy accessories? Head over to see these!

January 23, 2014 at 08:37Okay,…why did it never occur to me that this could be done? I see these cute cuffs on boots around down and I’ve always just assumed that all boots with them must have been made with them and bought that way! THIS IS AWESOME!! I’m pinning this immediately!! I LOVE it!! –Lisa

January 7, 2015 at 09:43How long (in inches) was your knitting before you weaved the two ends together? And would you estimate this to be a size medium?
Jennifer says
January 7, 2015 at 09:59I did not measure, I would just knit a few rows and then measure to see if they would fit. It didn’t take long.
