Let me introduce my new pattern: Emblazon!
Most women have collections of jewelry and accessories to dress themselves up, but how many of us have something fun to spruce up out boots? Sometimes a little sprucing is just what their need and it’s such a shame that they get overlooked.
I didn’t have the time or patience to knit tall socks with a fancy cuff so I designed these boot toppers. They fit snuggly on the top of your boots with a button closer, adding just enough flare to complete any outfit.

PATTERN NOTES
S1 wyib= slip the next st from the LH needle to the RH needle purl wise holding the working yarn in front of your knitting.
You will be knitting a section of ribbing in the round and then knitting a lace cuff onto the ribbing back and forth at a right angle. You may find it easier to transfer your ribbing onto a circular needle once you start the lace portion.
