Knit or Crochet Boots
Article by KarensVariety.com

The newest fashion trend in footwear is knit or crochet boots. Given the diversity of yarns, textures and styles available, these boots are stylish and comfortable.

These boots are knit or crocheted uppers attached to moccasin or sturdier soles. Some are in leg warmer style set on heels or regular shoes. They can be loose and tied at the top or snug, or worn in a slouch style.

If you are looking for a pattern to make these boots, you can adapt a slipper pattern. Once you have made the basic upper, you can increase your stitches and knit or crochet the required length, or use a rib style which easily stretches around your calf.

If the upper of the slipper pattern calls for a thin yarn, simply change to a thicker yarn for the leg portion of the boot. Or you can use the same yarn and change to bigger needles or hook. The premise is the same as it is when knitting or crocheting clothes, afghans, doilies, etc. Size is adjustable by changing needles or the hook.

As for soles, you can purchase different soles and sew the sole to the boot. There is "shoe glue" for sale so you could cut the sole off an old pair of boots and glue the hand made portion of the boot to the sole.

Or to have the look without actually making a boot, crochet a leg warmer and wear it on top of a boot.
