Blackroot Boot Toppers
Intriguing texture peeking out from the top of your favorite boots makes this little project fun to show off. Using roughly an average sized skein in any yarn weight from fingering to bulky, they make for an easy and inexpensive gift knit. Sized from 8 to 20 inches in circumference, they will fit most body types. After whipping up your first pair in a weekend, you’ll be wanting one in every color.
