September is the beginning of boot season for most people. You know the months when you pick your entire outfit based around which boots you want to wear. Tell me I am not the only one.

When looking for a new way to enhance some of my classic boots for the long winter months, I found adorable boot socks…with outrageous prices. On closer examination of the socks I found that they looked like a couple sweaters I was ready to give away. And thus the homemade boot socks were born!

Reuse old sweaters to make boot socks.  It is so easy and takes less than 10 minutes!

How to make Homemade Boot Socks from an Old Sweater.

Materials:
Old Sweater, Sewing Machine, Pins, Fabric Scissors

1. Make sure your sweater is clean and dry. Lay it out flat.

Use old sweaters to make boot socks!  So easy!

2. Cut the arms of both sweaters off and slip them onto your legs to get the fit right. Pin them into place where you want to sew them.

3. Hem the raw edges with a sewing machine. If you don’t have a sewing machine or just want to get the project done quickly use fabric glue or hand stitch it.

4. Throw on your favorite skinny jeans, slip your new homemade boot socks on and you are ready for a night out.  That’s an order!

Boot socks are so easy to make out of old sweaters!

Homemade boot socks make great thrifty presents for friends, too. They can get up to $30 a pair so free sounds pretty good! Dig through your closets, make yourself a pair or two and get ready for the start of  boot season!

Pssssst...

    Just thought I’d throw out another idea–you can use the rest of the sweater to make a throw pillow cover. My kids love the coziness of our sweater pillows:)

    So cute and what a practical idea! I will be on the lookout at the thrift shops for some old sweaters and sharing this with my two twenty-something daughters. BTW, where did you get those adorable looking boots?

      Thrift shops are the best for old sweaters! I got these boots on Black Friday at JC Penneys! I love a good bargain! 🙂

    Hi , Your site is great! But I’m wondering about the Boot sock bottoms, do you close them off or just sew around the outside of the sweater sleeve/ boot bottom? Hopefully you understand what I’m trying to say 🙂 but didn’t know if was closed or not. Thanks so much

      I have done boot socks both ways. Some of them I sew around like leg warmers and some of them I just sew off the tops so they are socks. It is your preference and what works best for your sweater!

    Great idea! I also used a cute red sweater with white hearts on the bottom border to make a couple cute Christmas stockings to hang up. Check out those thrift stores for supplies.
