Fall and winter are quickly approaching, and so is chilly weather! It’s that time of year again, boot season! Boot cuffs are all the rage right now. But, what’s not to love? It’s the look of a cozy sock without all of the bulk! I’ve been craving a pair of boot socks after spotting them in a fashionable little neighborhood boutique. But, at $25 a pair I had to walk away!
Did you know that with an old sweater, a little lace, and 30 minutes, you too can have your own pair of DIY boot cuffs?! Get ready, because it’s hard to make just one pair! (And, these make the perfect Christmas gift too!)
How to Make Your Own Boot Socks
To make your own pair of DIY boot cuffs, you will need these cheap & easy to find supplies:




To complete this step, just fold your raw edge over once, twice, and then quickly stitch it up. If your stitches are less than perfect, it’s okay! This is the part of the boot cuff that is hidden inside of your boot and will never be seen!

If your lace is not stretchable, make sure your sock is stretched taunt when you sew it on so that the circumference will fit around your calf.
(If you don’t want to add lace, you can completely skip this step! These DIY boot cuffs look fantastic with or without the lace and buttons!)

Awesome idea! I absolutely love boot cuffs. And by the way your red boots are awesome!
Great tutorial thanks so much for sharing!!!
What a creative idea and it’s easy! Love it!
I have JUST the sweater in mind for this! Great step by step, thank you!
These are super cute! I love the lace detail!
So making these this weekend! Thanks for posting the tut.
No way! I have those same exact red boots and love them. Thanks for this great tutorial! I can’t sew, but stitching I can do!

I love the boots and the boots cuffs!! I wondered why everyone was wearing long socks that peaked out above the boots. I actually thought they were crazy. Now I see that I was off the fashion trend!! I have a few sweaters, but I like the idea of going to the thrift store and making a project out if even better!! Thanks SITS girls. I will post a picture when I do it.
Yes, please share yours when you are done!!
I love love the boots where are they from?
How cute! I really need to learn how to sew.
Jessica! You can do it!
OMG, I am TOTALLY going to try this! Love the boots, too.
Quick question (and maybe I’m just an idiot and didn’t see it clearly) but when you say to fold the material over twice, do you mean to tuck the edge under twice so it’s straight across (no frayed edges)? I just want to be sure I’m doing this correctly and will prob start ripping into some old sweaters later today. GREAT DIY!!! Thanks!
Charlotte, you got this! Your assumption was exactly right, just fold the frayed edge under, and then under again & sew! You don’t want your boot cuffs to unravel!
Love this idea! I’m definitely going to have to add it to my winter craft list – especially since I just bought a pair of new boots!
Lorraine, sounds perfect for your new boots!
Well, this is on my winter-craft-to-do list.
Perfect, Emilie!!
My girls will LOVE these…Love repurposing old clothes…. Thanks for sharing…
You are so welcome Renee!
Very cute cuffs and love your boots!
Thanks so much!
LOVE!!! Definitely will be trying this out!
Victoria, great! I’d love to see your finished pair!
I am definitely making some of these. Super cute!!
Awesome Jennifer!!
Super cute! It’s cold here in Montreal. I’m going to do this. 🙂 Thanks!
And those boots are drool inducing …. btw.
Perfect for chilly weather!!!
Emily, these are adorable!
Thanks Bonnie!!
Awesome idea!! Where did you get those fabulous boots?!?
Jill, they are Miz Mooz boots!
So cute! Now I just need to find boots that have enough room in the calves for me. Ha!
Carissa, yes! You will need a boot that fits a little loose on top to pull these off- they can make your boots a bit snug.
Where did you get those boots?!?!?!
Sabrina, they are Miz Mooz boots!
This is a great idea, I was going to try and knit something similar but this looks so much easier.
Kayleigh, so much easier- but your knitted cuffs sound lovely as well!
Love this. Going to go home and see if I have any old sweaters
Yes, I cleaned my closet out and made a whole bunch for Christmas gifts! Score!
