Designed to coordinate with the Adelyn Earwarmer (also a free pattern), these understated and stylish boot cuffs offer warmth and an eye pleasing texture that will compliment any cold weather outfit. Work up the earwarmer along with them and you have a unique handmade gift set! The Adelyn collection uses Tss (Tunisian simple stitch) and Ttc (Tunisian treble crochet) which provide just enough texture and interest to please a seasoned Tunisian crocheter but is also simple enough to be the perfect "starter" project for those wanting to learn Tunisian crochet. The FREE pattern below contains tutorial links to get you started.
