Granny Boot Cuffs - Make your Mum something fabulous this Mother's Day, Mini Mother's Day Series Part 1

Hello friends.  I wanted to design something quick and easy, that would make a great Mother's Day gift and after making a pair of boot cuffs as part of a weekly CAL on Ravelry, I thought I would have a go at designing my own.  You all know how I love a granny square and putting the two together, I came up with these super cute Granny Boot Cuffs.  Then it occured to me, "why have only one Mother's Day gift idea?", so instead we will be having a mini series of patterns coming out over the next few weeks, so make sure you are subscribed and don't miss out on any posts.

As always an ad free pdf version of this pattern is available in my online stores, thank you for helping to support my work...

Sizing:  Measure around your calf to find your correct size (measure the widest part of your calf where you would like the cuffs to sit).  Size XS-S will fit 12-13 inches (30 -36cm), M-L will fit from 13-15 inches and XL will fit from 15-16 inches (36-41cm).

Other notes:  Alternate between mc and cc each round and join in new colours with a sl st, if you wish to make in only 1 colour, sl st to corner sp when starting a new round.   Size XS-S, start with mc, sizes M-L & XL start with cc.  Ch3 at start of round counts as dc (you may replace with a standing st or chainless dc if you prefer).  The larger sized hook is used for granny squares and sc edge.  The smaller hook is used for the ribbing.  Photos shown for M-L & XL sizes, there will be no round 4 for size XS-S and you will start with mc for round 1.
