CROCHET TUTORIAL - BOOT CUFFS

[@ryannsam5298]

I wish every single one of the complainers or rude commenters would either keep their mouths closed or watch something else. this sweet❤ took her time to share with us something she found unique beautiful and wanted to pass it along... she was precise and did her best to explain the process. she also indicated that she included the pattern, so on that note if you didn't get it, it's on YOU, not her. you should be thanking her for taking the time to make the video and post it not ridicule her on your inability to rewind and watch! so sick of e titled people that are never appreciative of others.

[@dracenstein5556]

have no clue why anyone would thumbs down her videos, she does and excellent job especially for a beginner and without the indecent unnecessary talking almost everyone else does. great job !!

[@amandapadilla824]

I just started learning how to crochet and these boots cuffs are adorable for the winter!

[@rbeagan]

Great tutorial! I just followed it and made a pair of red & white Christmas cuffs. Made the scallops white and the rest is done in red. Was hoping I could had a picture to show you. So far, this is my favorite pattern. Very easy & fast. Planning to use the alternating double/single stitches, using red to make a headband to go with them, and then add a white flower to the band.

[@shannon2005100]

These are beautiful! I made one already and will make it's match tommorow. So quick and easy to follow your directions. I attached a button to it which looks lovely. They can be worn as you showed here or put on inside out and folded over the boot cuff. So cute! These are going to be Christmas presents, thanks for the video.

[@richardcurl1346]

Awesome tutorial. So easy that last night I made a set for my grandchild in beige this is what all the kids in her school are wearing. She was so Happy. I made 1 change to your pattern ... after making the top cuff and before connecting, I crochet the scalloped edge on top then I connected the ends of the cuff, this made it as one piece so there is less tails to take care of. Thanks for the video and pattern :-) Rich

[@iKNITS]

That is a great idea! I'll do that next time I make it. and I am so glad she loved it! Score for granddad!

[@lareebrownell3399]

Very nice tutorial. I appreciate the link to the printed instructions too. I made a couple pairs from another tutorial I found online but I just wasn't happy with what I ended up with. These are MUCH better and just as quick and easy, but much cuter. Thanks for taking the time to share the video and instructions.

[@PK-pr1jd]

This video was super great! Easy to learn from it and because of it, I completed my very FIRST crochet project. (I've been knitting for 10 years, but never crocheted anything!) LoVe ThEsE !! Thanks! :)

[@iKNITS]

Yay! congratulations! When I first started crocheting I was like, where am I supposed to put my hook! Too many holes! With knitting, there's not a lot of guessing. Just one way or, you messed up lol. Thanks so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it :)

[@JgleJne]

love this pattern! I'm making my Christmas gifts this year and my two best friends will love these!

[@daledowd3627]

I love your patterns and your tutorials. I have been crocheting for a long time and I have a tip. When your yarn makes a squeaking noise as your pulling it through the needle you are crocheting too tightly. Loosen up the thread a little and the yarn will also pull through the stitches easier. I know from some of the thing I am hearing you say that you are new to crochet. :) Keep up the good work and thanks for the video.

[@italyseven6895]

Great job with this tutorial....I always get worried that someone will go too fast or it just won't make sense. This was really simple and it looks amazing!! Thank you so much!!!

[@iKNITS]

That's so good to hear! Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me that! Let me know how yours turns out!

[@italyseven6895]

***** I love the way they turned out!!! I did them in a cream color and put two black and brown buttons on the upper side....so cute!!!!

[@kanizkhan3614]

I like your all videos, they are so clear to follow the direction. thanks a lot

[@aymeepowell]

OMG! Finally a tutorial that I can follow! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Cannot wait to make these!

[@iKNITS]

Yay! Let me know how they turn out!

[@MsLW1000]

Thank you for the video, I will make a pair for myself first...can't wait... Thank you again. Happy New Year!!!

[@chadchrisful]

I saw this question down below but wasnt sure on your answer.. When you started the scallopped edge (the top) did you flip the cuff back over to scallop on that side??? Thanks.. Ive already made one set and love them..

[@TransformedKinz]

These are flipping ADORABLE! I made some fingerless gloves and I have left over yarn so I'm gonna make these in the same yarn :D Thanks!

[@motherofdoxies]

absolutely LOVEEEEE this boot cuff pattern :) Thank you so much!

[@patbee5475]

Great video! I'm going to make these for my daughter and granddaughters today.

[@satouru17]

Frances Brown, going into the second row I just slip stitched over to the next space between double crochets. From there I chained up three (to replace the first dc and continued the pattern from there... had to do a similar thing for a baby dress a few months back ;) Hope it helps

[@First_we_Eat]

Awesome and I love your directions for me as a beginner it's so useful :)

[@patti8732]

Hi thanks for this video. If you want to cut down on the drag and squeak of your hook rub it with a dryer sheet or wash with dawn and dry with soft cloth. Just a suggestion. :-)

[@wildwesthunting]

I have been trying to learn to crochet, I made a few pair without a pattern because I really don't know my stitches yet, I just haven't gotten the hang of it all yet. I think this will help I'm going to try this out and see how it works, I can never make the second one look like the first one. Wish me luck! :) I would like to add two buttons instead of it being a slip on I want to make it wrap around. Thanks for the tutorial its great!!! :)

[@iKNITS]

Good luck! I am sure it'll turn out perfectly!

[@tinaanderson9582]

Well explain. Great job. So easy to follow along.

[@jwats5887]

I made this cute boot cuff, and it was quick and easy. I think my yarn was to big though. My boot cuff is REALLY LONG. It goes over halfway down my calf! It was also a little tight and hard to get on. I know what to do next time now, though! I need to use smaller yarn, crochet tighter, and make it a comfortable width around my calf! I think I might make up some things as I do my next one, too! Thanks for this video!

[@TheSunshinegal67]

Love it! Ur videos are clearly explained correctly....

[@iKNITS]

Thank you! You have no idea how much I appreciate that :)

[@kmom1441]

Nice tutorial! These would look cute peeking out of the top of boots.

[@sparkyfox6]

Very cute and easy pattern. I just made some small modifications and it came out great! :)

[@iKNITS]

Yay! So good to hear :)

[@Pikpottery]

Thank you...exellent explanation. More People like you❤

[@cindycain4878]

Good detail. Can see the crochet steps easily. Easy to follow.

[@marevanderwalt803]

I really appreciate and enjoyed this, this was very helpful

[@nellcannon8890]

So enjoyed making these!

[@tklein120]

Thank you so much for this pattern,I jut made them for my daughter I just know she will love them.

[@iKNITS]

You're welcome! I bet she will!

[@lindsaygreen7095]

Awesome! I commented in one of your videos a while back and I asked you if you were going to do any crochet tutorials! I like knitting much better, though.

[@sarahreinhardt1414]

good tutorial! very simple and straight to the point! ☆

[@jerrahcantrell3965]

Thank you so much these are great!!! I love crocheting these!!!! 😃

[@leaanneborngesser6543]

Nice tutorial but could use more direction. I had to go back a few times to make sure your pattern called for 7 double crochet rounds. Also, it appears that you have Step 7 on the video twice for two different steps but I could be mistaken as I had to keep pausing it to work on my project. I've never seen the way you cut the yarn, it's much easier if you cut a tail and pull it through the loop to tighten it. Also, you don't have to keep cutting the yarn at the end of the steps. For example, when you've made your SC, DC strip of yarn (approx. 14 rows at the beginning) you don't have to cut the yarn, just put the ends of the long strip together and start doing the SC to bring the two ends of the strip together and then you can start doing the DC rounds with that same yarn without ever cutting it! I hate weaving in ends and never cut the yarn during this project. The only ends I had to weave were the starting chain piece and the final cut at the very end of the project. I like the scalloped edging, gives a nice touch.

[@iKNITS]

Hi Lea, this actually isn't my pattern, I just made a video tutorial on it. Thank you for your help and thoughts!

[@OhHowNovel]

I have a question. At 7 min 35 sec you finish the first part of the cuff. After you cut the string how do you go about making it so it doesn't come apart? Do you just make a regular knot with the left over 2, strings? Or is there some kind of special crochet connection thing that I'm missing?

[@iKNITS]

You can make a knot, and then hide the yarn by weaving it in the work. Does that make sense?

[@Alita_castillo_m]

Thank you!! I just made mine and love it!!

[@samanthagarcia6763]

Super cute! Love them. Had to watch the video on silent though, the squeaking yard made me crazy!

[@daledowd3627]

The yarn squeaks because the yarn is too tight. Loosen the yarn and it won't squeak.

[@ericasmith250]

How many dc stitches are you supposed to have in each row? I keep getting 6 and then 7. I dont know what im doing wrong. Great tutorial by the way!

[@iKNITS]

That would've been nice to know! I am not sure. The designer doesn't specify how many in her written pattern either. Does it look good? With crochet, you can get away with a few mistakes and it looks perfect!

[@majoherrera1411]

***** esspp

[@adjones87]

I really admire your ability to crochet and knit!lol I learned to knit first and have been trying to learn to crochet, but it's so hard to learn how to use one hand instead of 2!! Do you know of a way to convert patterns??

[@iKNITS]

Thank you! It takes some time, but you'll love it! and it's nice to have a break from knitting when you need it, but still want to make something. No I don't. I should try though!

[@samanthadunaway8902]

I don't understand who some ppl that crochette make the slip knot you start off with look so complicated .

[@alleyking3886]

"It would be nice to know her desired length"....like what? I can't stop laughing for some reason!!!😂😂

[@rawanmayer64]

that is so cool and nice finally i can try it ,,,,, thanks so much for the video

[@krysha2116]

I'm in the middle of doing this im on 5:57 and I have done the 2 chain and twisterd do I doubble Songle doubble since tell I get 12 inches long??(my calf size)

[@Rini-D]

thank you very much for the tutorial! love it!

[@iKNITS]

You're welcome! So glad you like it :)

[@alessandraphillips9769]

I made one last night and it came out very big. the cuff fit nicely but when I did the shell round it turned out really big. I followed it all the way through. did I do something wrong I used a h hook

[@bleusilver990]

Caron simply soft is the mint colored yarn

[@BOOTCUFFSCOZYITEMS]

Thank uuuuuuuuu you are awesomeeeeee looove your videos and soooo easy

[@iKNITS]

:) so sweeeet! Glad I could help!

[@aevanstn]

I am a bit lost at step 6. I have my cuff made. Looks like you had to do a extra step to fix a loop before you started step 6. There is a skip in the video right before you start step 6. So the yarn you pull through for the start of step 6, I dont know if this is one of the tails we cut or are you starting with new yarn? I am a beginner.

[@iKNITS]

hmm, could you tell me the time in the video where you are lost? Sorry it'll make it a lot easier for me to help you that way. thanks!

[@aevanstn]

***** thanks! so at 7:45 you realize you missed a loop...then the screen skips (guess doesnt show you fixing this) so at 7:55 you say you are going to put your needle through first loop and grab your yarn. So my question is what string of yarn? do I grab a new string on my yarn ball? And which end of the cuff do I do this on? The side that has my tail and my cut piece of yarn? or the opposite? And last question the yarn loop you had us cut right after stitching the cuff together at 7:30, what is it for? wont it come unraveled or was I suppose to tie a knot on it? Sorry..I have no idea what I am doing.

[@iKNITS]

Anna Evans It's the same yarn you were using. It doesn't matter which end of the cuff but if I remember correctly, I did the bottom. So the opposite of the side that has your tail and cut piece of yarn. So at the end you need to weave in the yarn at 7:30. You can tie a knot in it and then get a needle and weave it through your work. I hope this helps! Good luck!

[@4everblink182fan]

you should do more crochet videos!

[@jennaholloman9517]

when you are crocheting this pattern, are you holding the yarn tight as you crochet? jenna

[@iKNITS]

No, I let it run through my fingers so the tension is pretty equal.

[@piper_lori-williams-tudhope]

Love my cuffs thank you so much!!!!

[@iKNITS]

yay! So glad they turned out!

[@bleusilver990]

What your working on first is that the bottom of the boot cuff?

[@First_we_Eat]

And agree with the comments you should do more crochet videos.. Blankets scarf etc

[@tresaley8802]

They are cute. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@leilaspencer2668]

Very cute

[@helenarnold3577]

Hi! These r really cute. Cud they be made for a 5 yr. old & if so, what changes wud I make. I am a beginner & not sure how to go about it. Many tks for yr help.

[@iKNITS]

Hey! Thanks! Yes they could, you would have to make them smaller. If you have the child, I would start by only chaining 10 less, and try it on her to see if it fits. If it doesn't, then chain more or less. Sorry I wish I had a child version.

[@helenarnold3577]

I don't understand by yr saying to chain 10 less - in video u start with 8 chains. It is not my child - nephew's daughter & they live in a different city - I know that her leg calf is 10" (tall 5 yr old) - Wud I chain measuring 10"??

[@helenarnold3577]

Helen Arnold I tried going to site for written pattern but I get an error code - so it is no longer available. Sorry to bother u. Tks for any help u can give me.

[@iKNITS]

Helen Arnold well that's just great! I'll see what I can do.

[@iKNITS]

***** It's having some technical difficulties. It should be back on some time.

[@VENNILOVE]

You shld do more crocheting videos

[@kierstenkelly7342]

So can I use any type of year for this pattern

[@laurynn30]

Can I you get this same boot cuff pattern with knitting? Also, where do you find time to knit. It seems like I'm working on a project forever no matter if it's a dishcloth or headband. Thanks! :)

[@iKNITS]

It wouldn't look the same, but I'm sure there's knitted boot cuffs out there. My go to search engine is Ravelry, have you tried that? Oh I do it whenever I have time, or if I'm watching a show or something. I love it though! :)

[@kklmx3]

What brand is that mint/teal colored yarn?? I love it!

[@iKNITS]

Lion brand has a mint color and red heart! Love them both!

[@Pocohantas216]

This might be a beginner question, but why are you cutting the yarn to join and then starting a different stitch? Would it not be easier to just continue crocheting the whole thing, then sewing the whole thing together?

[@iKNITS]

That's a great question! I guess you could still continue crocheting. I can't think why you'd have to now..pregnancy brain! Try it out and let me know how it works for ya!

[@anaidkc]

***** I think if you don't cut off then you'd have to slip stich over which is a bit more difficult to explain. But doable :))

[@iKNITS]

That's right! Well thank you :)

[@anaidkc]

No worries, I still have pregnancy brain and its been 15 years ;) lol

[@anaidkc]

I've made mine and they are LOVELY! Thank you!!! :)

[@brianchan6323]

Hi. You did 14 rows for the cuff. What is the desired length? Thanks!

[@sherit8594]

Rows of 14 is the width/circumferance. If you want them longer, add to your chain according to the pattern she's using.

[@shanran07]

Quite confused as to where you are starting your scalloped edges...are you starting them at the seam from the beginning of the project where you weaved in your ends? And how do I know which stitches to dc into to create the scallops?

[@carolwaddell3951]

I was confused also...

[@jewelpancakes1823]

These could make really cute fingerless gloves too

[@iKNITS]

Such a good idea!!!

[@kdeseve222]

in your instructions on the band (prior to slip stitching together) you say to "chain two, and double crochet..." shouldn't it be "chain three"? i always chain three with double crochet and found i HAD to for an even edge on this. just wondering if anyone else had the same problem?? p.s. i looked at other videos for this project and yours is the nicest cuff! thank you. :)

[@iKNITS]

when you ch 2, that's equivalent to a DC. But if it worked for you that way, then great!

[@kdeseve222]

it might be that since i am new to crochet that i do my stitches too tight and that's why the ch 3 works... thanks for responding so quickly. :)

[@iKNITS]

That's good to know! thank you :)

[@carolengram7614]

Hi dd u start working on the other end when u started the scollop?

[@iKNITS]

The other end, meaning not the cast on edge where you chained.

[@carolengram7614]

Yes!! sorry I see I didn't ask that question right!! Thanks!! Do you have any crochet tutorial on finger gloves?

[@iKNITS]

No I don't. I do have knit ones though!

[@magpie121078]

Great video but it was huge on my calf. Any suggestions? The top part fits my leg fine..the rest of it makes it look like my leg is wearing a dress.

[@iKNITS]

I think you are crocheting in the same loop more than once, and that's why it is becoming looser and looser :/ So when you're going in the round, make sure you only crochet once when you get to the beginning of the next round. I hope that makes sense!

[@magpie121078]

I'm not sure what I did but I did it over again and it worked. Thanks!

[@iKNITS]

oh good!

[@ministerdr.cherylbenefield5408]

i made one really cute. one thing , it fits only my calf..if I wear it as an ankle cuff it would be too big cause it's measured for my calf. what I will do is make an ankle cuff specalliy for the ankle tks again

[@treasureintheattic4614]

Minister Dr. Cheryl Benefield Follow the same pattern but when you chain wrap it around your ankle to check if it fits n then increase or decrease accordingly.

[@tabathaclewell1516]

Do you have the link for written instructions ?

[@iKNITS]

yes ma'am! It's under the video in the description bar :)

[@ashleighkiss1195]

what would happen if I use size 5 or maybe 6 (just to make it thicker some)..... could I still make it with this pattern?????????

[@ashleighkiss1195]

or if I used 2 strans of size 4 yarn and made it that way

[@iKNITS]

Ashleigh Kiss I say try it out, I'm sure it'll work out just fine :)

[@ashleighkiss1195]

Thank you I crochet a whole lot more than kniting anyway.... tnx

[@brendajenkins6137]

I don't know why mine look nothing like this...I tried following along with the written pattern as well - seems like there are some inconsistencies in quite a few areas. Suggest others listen through this and read comments below before starting to make sure you understand prior to making these.

[@ImGinaMarie]

This would be a good shawl

[@lindsaygreen7095]

Not that I wouldn't want to see anymore crochet videos! That's not what I meant!

[@lisahak2288]

Thanks for the video!:)

[@amys5905]

You didnt tell anyone how many rows to do of the double crochet x2 in each double crochet spaces and then when you do the scallops on top you dont tell anyone that its supposed to be flipped back around and to do that on the top of the beginning of the work. Not a good video for beginners because they wont catch on to that and it will be messed up for them. Luckily, im not a beginner and was able to spot that out. Other than that, cute cuffs.

[@iKNITS]

Hey Amy, thanks for your feedback. This video isn't supposed to replace the pattern. That is why I didn't put all the information on the video, just supposed to help you how to make he stitches etc. so please follow along with the written pattern while you watch the video.

[@daledowd3627]

Did you not pay attention and listen to her as she spoke? It is obvious that she is trying to teach herself while she does the stitches. Give her a break.

[@dekaadan44]

Thanks I so helpful!

[@lmagify]

Thanks so much! fun!

[@melaniemartino6097]

This video was only good for the first part of the crochet of the boot cuff, I got totally lost during the second half. I think you missed some instruction, Because I was following yours and it was not coming out like that. Got very frustrated. need clearer instructions.

[@iKNITS]

Hey I'm sorry you had a hard time with the other half of the video. It's best if you follow along with the written pattern and hopefully that'll help you understand what I'm trying to explain and show. What do you have a hard time on?

[@delialupancu3881]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

[@ministerdr.cherylbenefield5408]

I like going to make a pair

[@deisecorbo2470]

Lindas

[@cora_kathlena]

This is pretty: but the sound of tight stitches makes me sick lol. It's A good thing I can follow without sound.

[@kristinbowden4385]

Is there a way to make this child size?!!

[@iKNITS]

Yes definitely! Just make it shorter by 2 inches maybe? If you can measure it on your child's leg that would be the best option!

[@lindaraper3290]

I dont think it be a good idea to go a little faster when most people are trying to learn i think it should be a tiny bit slower,cause im trying to learn this.

[@krysha2116]

I think her video is just fine I just started cricheting and im understanding it just fine. She speads up so your not sitting a million years wondering what the next step is. I back track the video to play the part I Need. If you want a faster video look at a differmt one

[@vchickyv]

could you give me an idea of the final measurements ?! :)

[@iKNITS]

Mine is around 6 inches. The designer of the pattern didn't specify any dimensions either because everyone's legs/calves are all different sizes so you can customize it.

[@kaileysmith3105]

thnx sooo much

[@mildredarnold4052]

Sweetheart thank you for your vid.

[@Duckycway]

Ive tried but cant catch on to crochet

[@OhHowNovel]

Thank you! :-)

[@JP_JP_JP]

They turned out beautiful , but i cannot put them on! :( too tight for the midle part

[@iKNITS]

Your tension is probably really tight. I would try crocheting looser or going up a hook size.

[@sherit8594]

As she mentioned about the tension, hook... after you've finished the rows (before you see together) wrap around your leg at the largest part) and add rows accordingly). Not everyone has same size leg 😉

[@tanyaelston9202]

this pattern makes no since to me. luckily i am an advanced crocheter and can figure this out.

[@Zeden2010]

It is hard to read the instructions printed on your video :(

[@malakmeli486]

thank u sweetheart

[@mariaeugeniaasiain2608]

me gustaria que estuviera en idioma espanol gracias

[@pitabella5]

Nice but your directions are not what regular crocheters would do.

[@iKNITS]

I just went by what her pattern says to do.

[@thavylor]

She doesn't have to show like the way others would show. It's very sweet of her that she shows us here.

[@krysha2116]

I know right?! Haters are so stupid
