These boot toppers will add texture and a pop of pink to any outfit thanks to the chunky, bright-colored yarn that’s used. Modeled after the cozy Feather Gray Boot Toppers from December 2016, this pretty pink version features a smooth ribbed pattern that’s perfect for tucking into your favorite boots. Finish it off with an I-Cord bind off and you’re ready for anything the weather throws your way.
