Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in black, white, and a soft gray
• Needles: US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 20 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches using the black yarn. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to ensure a comfortable fit.
2. Ribbing: Work in a 2x2 ribbing pattern (knit 2 stitches, purl 2 stitches) for 10 rows. This ribbing will help the cuffs fit snugly around your calves.
3. Switch Yarn: After completing the ribbing, switch to the white yarn. Knit 5 rows in stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl the next). This will create a smooth fabric for the panda motif.
4. Panda Motif - Row 1: Begin the panda motif by knitting 20 stitches in black, then switch to white for the next 20 stitches, and finish with 20 stitches in black.
5. Panda Motif - Row 2: Purl 20 stitches in black, purl 20 stitches in white, and purl the last 20 stitches in black. This creates the first two rows of your panda face.
6. Continue Motif: Continue in stockinette stitch, following the chart for the panda face for a total of 20 rows. Make sure to maintain the color pattern as you work through the chart.
7. Switch to Gray Yarn: After completing the panda motif, switch to the gray yarn and knit 5 rows in stockinette stitch to create a soft transition.
8. Return to Black Yarn: Switch back to the black yarn and work in a 2x2 ribbing pattern for another 10 rows. This will mirror the bottom ribbing and complete the cuffs.
9. Bind Off: Bind off loosely in the ribbing pattern to ensure the top of the cuffs remains stretchy.
10. Finishing Touch: Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle. Make sure to secure all loose ends to keep your boot cuffs looking neat.

Now you have your very own Peek A Boo Panda Boot Cuffs! Slip them on and enjoy the cozy warmth and whimsical charm they bring to your winter wardrobe.
