Cute little Elf Boot Cuffs I just made, I saw a picture on Pinterest and decided to create my own. They jingle as you walk and sparkle in the sun. They took about 3 hours per cuff(though it was trial and error) Her is my pattern if you want to try yourself. Read my After Thought at the end before you start. Enjoy.

Row 13-(Crocodile Stitch) 5 dc up post, Ch 1, *5 dc down next post, sk next 2 posts, in next post inserting hook facing start of row work 5 dc, Ch 1, repeat from * across, slst into end of row, Ch 40, bind off.
Pict up yarn at other end of red and Ch 40.
Lace up the 2 chs like a shoelace into each row of color til you reach the the top and tie(tighten) when worn.
Attach bells to each red point with yarn, I ran one piece of red yarn along each crocodile stitch adding bells at the points.
Repeat above to make your second cuff.
AFTER THOUGHT- If you were to start with the red row you can do the crocodile stitch like normal and work the green and white rows off of it.
