Pattern

With G hook chain 9.

Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd chain from hook and each chain across. Turn.-------------8 scRow 2: Working in back loops only, ch 1 ( not counted as a st) , 1 sc in back loop of the same st as ch 1, 1 sc in back loop of next 7 stitches. Turn.----------------- 8 sc

Repeat Row 2 till your work measures 12 ½ inches. Do not stretch your band while measuring. Now slip stitch the two shorter ends together inserting your hook through the front loops of the stitches on your last row and the free loops on the very first row to form a circular band as show in Pic 1 below.. See Stitch explanation for working in front loops. I got 27 ridges in the band including the ridge formed by slip stitching the ends together. Now the rest of the boot cuff will be worked in the round.

Round 1: Ch 1( does not count as a st), proceed to work a round of sc all around the band , making 1 sc in each sc row end ( one in each ridge and trough). Sl st to the first sc. Do not turn. See Pic 2 below. --------- 54 scRound 2: Ch 3 ( counts as first esc and ch 1), skip 1 st, *(1 esc in next st, ch 1 , skip 1 st), repeat from * till end of the round. You would have reached the beginning ch 3, do not turn.---------------- 27 esc in the round.

Note: Esc is the stitch right before it to the right and not the one right on top of it. See Pic 3 below to find out where to insert your hook to make an esc.Round 3: Work 1 esc in to top of beginning chain 2 of previous round, place a marker in the esc you just made. The marker will show you where Round 3 started. *(1 esc in next esc, ch 1, sk 1 st), repeat from * till you reach back near the marked st. Do not turn.---------------- 27 escRound 4: 1 esc in marked st, move the marker up in to the esc you just made, ch 1, sk 1 st, *(1 esc in next esc, ch 1, sk 1 st), repeat from * till you reach back near the marked st. Do not turn.---------------- 27 esc

Repeat round 4 till your work is 4 inches high including the ribbed band as shown in pic 4 below. Every time you reach back near the marked stitch you would have completed one round. Switch to hook F and repeat the same round 4 till your piece measures 6 inches.



Last Round: 1 regular sc in the next esc, sl st to the next st ( ch 1). this would have evened out the edges. Ch 1, 1 sc in next st and each st across, sl st to beginning ch 1. Fasten off.

Make one more following the same pattern.

FinishingWeave in any tails left and sew two wooden buttons on to the ribbed band for embellishment. PICTURES

1. Sl stitch the first and last rows together 2. Work a round of sc across row ends

3. Shows where to insert your hook when pattern 4. Switch to F hook when your work measures 4 inches asks you to work an Esc in next Esc
