Comfy and cozy Prairie Boots will get you through the coldest of winters. Turn them down for ankle length or leave them up to keep your shins warm. You don’t need to seam – just add funky buttons and they are ready to wear. Warning: it is so fun to watch them take shape on your needles that you may become addicted. But that’s okay, they make great gifts!

Notes

• Boots will stretch somewhat.
• Keep in mind that you can adjust the length of the sole by needle size; a US 8 / 5 mm needle will yield a shorter sole.
• If you are using worsted weight doubled for the sole, it is important to check gauge and adjust needle size to get the correct sole length.
