Boot cuffs are quick to knit and great fun to wear, brightening up any pair of boots and keeping out the cold.

These boot cuffs form part of the Winter Twist Collection of accessories, which includes hats and gloves as well as these boot cuffs. The Winter Twist Collection is a series of accessories that can be worn alone or together and is perfect for wrapping up against autumn and winter chills.

All the patterns incorparate the same design elements of a twisted cable and button details.

The boot cuffs are knitted flat. The main body of the cuff is knitted first, then stitches are picked up for each selvedge to knit the button plackets, which are then overlapped and sewn in place.
