Like hat tricks, these boot toppers are showstoppers!

Northern climates need cosy wearables. And these boot toppers, designed for us by Fiona Ellis, add both style and warmth to your favourite boots. Designed in two weights of yarn - fingering weight Ancient Arts Hat Trick or a worsted weight yarn like Cascade 220, Berroco Ultra Wool, Rowan Pure Wool, this topper design also includes two style options (we call that a “double-double”). These are a quick and easy gift-giving project that’s sure to score!

Our samples include Toppers in Ancient Arts Hat Trick (fingering weight) Edmonton colourway, and RCY Epic (worsted weight) in colours: Ivory (cream) and Camel (beige). We've made new samples using RCY El Rio in Soft Sage (light green) and Juniper (dark green) and Julie Asselin Nurtured (we used two skeins) in colour Miel.

If you prefer, the pattern is available through our Ravelry shop here. If you're working a DK weight version, you can download a free addendum/companion for the original pattern.
