How to Crochet a Stylish Boot Top with Mustard Yarn

Materials Needed

You’ll need:

• 40g of mustard yarn (50% wool, 50% viscose);
• 30g of the same yarn, but in beige color;
• 30g of the same yarn, but in brown color;
• Crochet hook size 3.

Stitches Control

16 single crochets = 10 cm.

Instructions

Make 9 chain stitches with mustard yarn and fasten it with 1 row of single crochets from both sides, connecting the first and last stitches with a slip stitch = 18 stitches;

Row Increases

2^nd row: 1 chain stitch increase, 2 single crochets from 1 stitch, 8 single crochets, 2 single crochets from 1 stitch, 8 single crochets = 20 stitches;

3^rd row: 1 chain stitch increase, 2 single crochets from 1 stitch, 9 single crochets, 2 single crochets from 1 stitch, 9 single crochets = 22 stitches;

4^th row: 1 chain stitch increase, 2 single crochets from 1 stitch, 10 single crochets, 2 single crochets from 1 stitch, 10 single crochets = 24 stitches;

Make increases in the same way for 9 rows = 42 stitches.

Color Alternation

From the 14^th row, work with single crochets without increases, alternating the color of yarn in every row.

Heel Instructions

At 18 cm height, divide your work into 2 equal parts and make the heel in the following way:

1^st row: 21 single crochets;

2^nd, 4^th, 6^th, 8^th, 10^th, 12^th, 14^th, and 15^th rows: make single crochets bound off together at the beginning and end of the row;

3^rd row: 19 single crochets;

5^th row: 17 single crochets;

7^th row: 15 single crochets;

9^th row: 13 single crochets;

11^th row: 11 single crochets;

13^th row: 9 single crochets.

Continuation for Boot Top

For boot top, continue work from the toe and fasten the heel = 54 stitches due to the color order. In 10 rows, decrease 2 x 6 stitches in the 5^th row to achieve 42 stitches and work without decreases for 20 cm. Then, make 3 cm of mustard yarn and cut the yarn. Turn the upper part of the boot top and sew.
