Here's what you need:
Materials:
-extra wide elasticized lace
-thread and needle
-sewing machine or serger
-scissors (not shown, why do I always forget one thing??)
-optional: buttons, bows, ribbon, etc.
Steps:
1) Wrap your lace around your calf, just under your knee. Don't worry
about doing it over top of your pants, you're going to wear these on top
anyway.
2) Cut two lengths of lace to fit.
3) With right sides together, sew or serge the raw edges of your lace together.
4) Iron your seam towards one side and turn right side out.
If you want to stop now you can and there you go, you've completed the whole thing in about 60 seconds flat!
If you want to add a little bit more interest, read on.
5) Decide if you want your seam to be on the inside of your leg or at the back and then add some pretty buttons or bows or other embellishments. Just make sure to keep it towards the top of the sock so that it won't cause any discomfort inside your boot. Flat buttons work best. I put mine on the side but you could put them right down the seam at the back too!
