BOOT TOPPERS BEFORE THEY ARE SEWED TOGETHER or
HAVE THE WHITE EDGE CROCHETED AROUND.
as shown on previous post.

Tunisian crochet 4 panels for one pair of  "boot  toppers."  You use a  aphgan hook, #10.

YARN FOR "BOOT TOPPERS" AND A
WOODEN CROCHET HOOK (HOOK NOT USED FOR THIS PROJECT).

BOOT TOPPERS--
I used my legs as a guide.
  Did my Tunisian stitches and finished the white by doing a half dbl. crochet around,
a bit tighter stitch.

MAKES A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR THE BOOT WEARERS
IN YOUR FAMILY!

TUNISIAN CROCHET--

STARTING A HAND TOWEL.
  I USED 30 stitches and Peaches and cream yarn (100% cotton).
 

HATS~ CROCHET AND LOOM KNIT COMBOS!
Yes, that's what I said.  Anyone else do this? 
I thought it would be different to loom knit with crochet edges or
flowers attached.  I used left-over yarn pieces for
a "crazy" fun hat (shown in middle of photo).  A few of these
are all crochet.
I worked 10 months out of the year to create these
hats for Samaritans Purse, Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.
 

52 Hats

Foam Head can be purchased @ craft stores.

So, If you want to create a "combo" design, try out
a Crochet and Loom project.  Let your imagination go "wild!"
