Flower Power Boottopper
Deutsche Version kommt gleich / coming soon!
(German version will be added and be an update in your library as soon as it becomes available)
Boot toppers or leg warmers are the best project! And make fabulous gifts to boot! (pun intended) Quick, colorful and great to spruce up a drab outfit and use up your leftover worsted weight yarn!
For this project you will knit and purl, work a basic cable, pick up stitches for the contrast cuffs and use a simple embroidery stitch (easy photo tutorial included in the pattern)
After casting on this project, I wanted to knit them in all the colors, so I cast on a second version before the first one was even done! And hence the pictures were taken before the full sets :)
You are of course encouraged to follow your own heart and wear them however makes you the happiest, but perhaps a set is a bit more traditional ;)
