Thank you so much for this tutorial! You do a great job being clear and repeating the steps, a lot of tutorials don't repeat and as a beginner crocheter that makes it so much easier. My boot cuff came out beautiful!

I just finished two sets of these boot cuffs, using Red Heart Boutique, in the color Tapestry, I used a J hook. They turned out beautiful, I am so pleased with this pattern, and will be making many more of them. Thank you so much for doing this video, it's wonderful.

[@Munchie012]

Thank you SO much for your tutorials! I've always wanted to learn to crochet after watching my grandmother do it, and she was a pro at it, like you! I created these boot cuffs as my first real project and they turned out lovely. I am going to do more of your projects! I've watched other tutorials and yours, by far, have been the easiest to follow, so, thank you! Bravo! ☺

Hi Toby! Thank you very much. Let me know if you have continued difficulties. I can help you on Facebook messenger. Just send me pictures of where you are having difficulties and I can help you through it. I would have to let you know when I have time to help. :) Happy Crocheting! :)

is there a written pattern love the video and really clear for your direction i very slow tho and i have to keep stopping it that why i was asking for written pattern

When you say to chain 40 or "however long you need for it to fit around your calf"...... it would've been nice to know it needed to be in multiples of 3. On row 6 when I completed the shells, I found this out the hardy way and had to completely start over.

Hi… thank you for this tutorial. Have you ever done this pattern for earwarmer/headbands? Can this be done? I would live to have my cuffs match my headband. Thanks!

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

Hi Nel! I made a crochet baby headband using the same crochet stitch as I did for these crochet boot cuffs. You would just make it larger for an adult: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnuqc6KQYr-Zr9E

[@ursulaprinsloo5203]

Excellent tutorial for a beginner like me. Thank you so much!

[@crazy4g1]

love the tutorial!!! but i was wondering what are the measurements of your finished product? particularly interested in the width

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

Hi Erica! Thank you very much! Mine are Length 5.5" by width 7."

[@crazy4g1]

Ok then I Did it right, they looked big to me compared to yours but we are good😊 thank you so much for the info and quick response

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

You are very welcome! If you want them smaller, the crochet shell needs a multiple of 3. :)

[@kimwhittaker7044]

Great tutorial. I will keep tying but ended up taking mine apart after the shells because it kept getting wider and wider as I went .... ugghh... Hope I can get it right because these are adorable.

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

+Kim Whittaker . Hi Kim! The key is to keep the crochet shells above each other. You can let me know where your problem is, and I could do a pictorial for your problem area on my google+ blog. :)

[@kimwhittaker7044]

+HelenMay Crochet Thanks! I figured out what I was doing wrong. when doing the shell I was counting the hole under the shell as the skipped space which created too many shells. One down and one to go! Thanks!!!!!

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

That is great! :)

[@geraldineenglish2035]

Thank you, love this pattern

[@rondadawson6363]

is there a left handed version of this stitch I love it cant figure out the cross thing

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

+Ronda Dawson . I don't have a left handed version. Sorry about that.

[@bethschuster8948]

I have a question regarding stitch count. You mentioned that you used 40 stitches to start, but what are the multiples if I need I make in a different size, so my shells come out and I have the correct number of stitches. I hope I'm making sense. I love this tutorial and have to say you truly are the absolute Best teacher I have ever seen!! Thank you so very much for this great tute!

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

+Beth Nicholas. Hi Beth! Thank you very much for the nice compliment! I tested a small sample by increasing in increments of 3 and it worked well. Let me know if you run into any troubles. You could also start out smaller in the lower part of the boot cuff and increase higher up in the calf, before you start doing your shells. When you have completed your double crochets for the length you want before the shells, you can do increase rounds to the size you need for the decorative shells. For example, 1sc in 2 stitches, 2sc in the third stitch, and repeating that pattern around until you have the size you need for around the calf. If you have difficulty with this, let me know the size you are trying to achieve, and I will help you with it. I hope that you have a great day!

Did your yarn suggest a J hook or did you go up or down a size. If I use a different type of yarn/brand, I need to know which hook to use. Love this video ! My sister wants boot cuffs and I sent her 8 options and she choose this one as her favorite ! Thank you !

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

+Frances Downey . Hi Frances! I let you know all of the materials and hook that you need in the beginning of the video tutorial. Happy New Year!!!

[@Wand33]

+HelenMay Crochet no she was saying you said which crochet hook you used, but didn't say what weight yarn you used. Sometimes the yarn says size 5mm hook but people use a 6mm, so that's why she was asking.

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

Hi Tails! I also explain the type of yarn I used in the beginning of the video tutorial. Yes, the yarn sometimes has a free pattern with a size hook to use, but you can use different sized hooks depending on the pattern used. I appreciate your input. Have a wonderful day!!

[@poshiepo8329]

Is it possible to do this as a long sock/footsie but still add the boot cup? If so then how many stitches would it be? I'm going to need this badly since NY is getting cold! Btw love your work! It's well explained for me ( I'm a beginner at this)

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

+Poshie Po , Yes, but you would have to wear them over your jeans/pants. Here is a link to a free sock pattern my Lion Brand that I think you would like for the bottom portion: www.canadianliving.com/crafts/crochet/basic_crocheted_socks.php

[@lindakeglovics6624]

I'm working on making these boot cuffs as xmas gifts, looks like such a great pattern. I have a question, how many dc should you have in a row? I have 40, but when I do the next step, I have 3 spaces instead of two when I finish the round.

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

Hi Linda! When I made the video tutorial, I chained 40, but when I made the additional chain 3 and then made a double crochet into the 4th chain from the hook, I changed the stitch count to 41. If you followed me in the video tutorial, then you may have had 3 spaces instead of 2, but you could still slip stitch and join, and it wouldn't be noticeable. However, to end with only 2 spaces, then you need to get a stitch count of 40 (or multiple of 4). To do this, make a chain of 39, and then make the additional chain 3 and make a double crochet into the 4th chain from the hook. This should give you a true stitch count of 40. Please let me know if you need any additional help. :)

[@lindakeglovics6624]

Thank you for your responses. I will try your recommendations and advise if I need anything further. 😊

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

[@persidag3610]

How many shells should one have after completing the first she'll round? This is very confusing. I have seven shells. I'm not sure if that's right.

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

Hi Persida G! 7 shells are fine, as long as each subsequent row has 7 shells as well. :)

[@persidag3610]

Can this be changed into a leg warmer? If so, which part do I continue to do to make it longer?

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

Hi Janice!! This crochet boot cuff can be changed into a leg warmer. You will be crocheting from the bottom up. So, just continue to crochet until you have completed the length that you would like. Leave approximately 2 inches for the top of the leg warmer design. :)

[@smoggytyson7986]

Hi Helen, why didn't you make a ring with the 40 ch and then start your DC from there? You just have to be careful not to twist the ring.

[@helenmaycrochet8411]

[@Wand33]

@Laura I agree. By the time you're done with your first 5 rows of double crochet and you start on the fans, you'll probably have got the hang of the double crochet so no reason to explain every DC thereafter. That being said, I did enjoy the pattern, never knew about the reverse fan, I've only done the first 3 DC of the fan, never the 4 extra ones. Nice!
