Free Basketweave Boot Cuff Pattern!

Last year I had made a pair of basketweave boot cuffs and posted them on the blog.  I never got around to writing out the pattern but had someone ask me if I planned on releasing the pattern.  Well, I finally got around to it and here it is!

Supplies:

Yarn – Red Heart Soft or equivalent to worsted weight medium 4
Hook – I/5.5
Tapestry needle for weaving in the ends.

Abbreviations: 

bpdc – back post double crochet
ch – chain
dc – double crochet
fpdc – front post double crochet
hdc – half double crochet
hdc2tog – half double crochet 2 together
sc – single crochet
sl st – slip stitch

Here is a tutorial of the hdc2tog if you need help.

The cuff has lots of texture and using Red Heart Soft gave the cuff the ability to have some “stretch” to it.  It’s hard to have standard sizes for cuffs, so I come up with some measurements for the number of rows per inches and the number of single crochet stitches to use in Round 1 of the bottom part of the cuff..  I hope this will help you.

7″ = 21 rows = 24 sc

10″ = 27 rows = 36 sc

13″ = 33 rows = 48 sc

The cuff in the photo shows a 13″ cuff and fit a 15″ size calf comfortably.

Pattern Instructions:

Ch 15,

Ch 2 counts as first dc throughout the top part of the pattern.

Row 1:  Sc in 2^nd ch from hook and in each ch across, ch 2, turn (14 st)

Row 2:  dc in next sc and in each sc to end of row, ch 2, turn (14 st)

Row 3:  skip first dc, *fpdc around each of next 3 dc, bpdc around each of next 3 dc*, repeat from *to*, dc in top of ch 2, ch 2, turn (14 st)

Row 4:  skip first dc, *bpdc around each of next 3 fpdc, fpdc around each of next 3 bpdc*, repeat from *to*, dc in top of ch 2, ch 2, turn (14 st)

Row 5:  skip first dc, *bpdc around each of next 3 fpdc, fpdc around each of next 3 bpdc*, repeat from *to*, dc in top of ch 2, ch 2, turn (14 st)

Row 6:  skip first dc, *fpdc around each of next 3 dc, bpdc around each of next 3 dc*, repeat from *to*, dc in top of ch 2, ch 2, turn (14 st)

Row 7:  skip first dc, *fpdc around each of next 3 dc, bpdc around each of next 3 dc*, repeat from *to*, dc in top of ch 2, ch 2, turn (14 st)

Repeat Rows 4-7 until you have reached your desired length (width of calf) and fasten off leaving a long tail.

Join ends together using the long tail and take the side just fastened off.   Using the tapestry needle to sew the front loop only of the stitch and the bottom loop of each sc on the first row.  Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Bottom Portion of the cuff:

For the pattern on Round 7, you will dc2tog every 5^th and 6^th stitch, therefore make sure that on the beginning round one of your sc stitches they are divisible by 6.  For example, 24, 36, 42, 48, 54, etc.

Round 1:  ch 1 and sc evenly around, sl st in first sc

Row 2:  ch 1 and dc in same sp, dc in next sc and around,  sl st in first dc.

Row 3:  ch 1 and sc in same sp, sc in next dc and around, sl st in first sc.

Row 4:  ch 1 and dc in same sp, dc in next sc and around,  sl st in first dc.

Row 5:  ch 1 and sc in same sp, sc in next dc and around, sl st in first sc.

Row 6:  ch 1 and dc in same sp, dc in next sc and around, sl st in first dc.

Row 7:  ch 1 and hdc in same space, hdc in next 3 stitches, dc2tog, *hdc in next 4 stitches, dc2tog*, repeat from * to * across, sl st in first hdc.

Row 8:  ch 1 and sc in same sp, sc in next hdc and around, sl st in first hdc.

Fasten off and weave in the end.
