Steampunk fashion draws largely from Victorian-era styles and designs. One item common between the two styles are spats, fabric cuffs that go over boots. This free crochet pattern will show you how to make a pair of ruffled spats that are perfect for adding to your own DIY steampunk outfit.
The example shown was crocheted using light weight yarn and a size F hook. Finished size will vary based on yarn selection, hook size, and tension. This pattern is written for making the right spat To change the pattern for the left foot, work R10 in back loops only instead of front.

These look so cute. I wish I can crochet.
I've done it with chocolate silk in a vine pattern and some mismatched off-white laces; it's actually a pretty easy project.
those are adorable ^_^...
Wow that is really cute you are an amazing artist
These are really cute.
My wife finds it a nice pattern, Only we have one small question, what does the abbreviation: a ap mean in the pattern.
We've been searching all over the internet but we couldn't find it.
It's actually not supposed to be there; it wasn't originally there, but when Examiner switched over to their new format last year, I ended up with extra lines of nonsense in a few of my articles. And, unfortunately, I can't edit anything written before the change. :( Sorry for the confusion!
I love these they are so cute. I made my 1st one (just have to make the second) out of some scrap yarn and they turned out really cute. But also going to make a second pair out of gray and dark purple. thanks for sharing the pattern :)
Rhonda, these are SO CUTE!! I will def make them as soon as I pick up some yarn. Thanks so much for making this a free pattern! :)
