These little boot cuffs were designed to work with ankle boots, so they are a bit smaller than needed for mid-calf or knee-high boots. However, the pattern may be modified as needed to accommodate whatever size is desired.
The finished cuff size should be about 1” smaller than the actual leg measurement. The crocheted ribbing is designed to give the cuff a bit of stretch.

The inspiration for this project struck after reading in Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook that the FDA has banned the use of sponges from commercial kitchens. I designed the tawashi to mimic the feel of a sponge but without all of the ickiness that comes from traditional sponges. Wash them regularly in the washer to keep clean.
The pattern is easy, works up super quick, and is ideal for last minute gifts or simply brightening up the home.
