Always handy to have a knitting project on a long journey.
These boot toppers were knitted on a long journey from one end of Australia to the other.

Step 2
To join, I slipped stitched them together with a crochet hook which leaves a nice, neat edge. They can just as easily be sewn together though.
The finished topper is 6 inches long. If you need to make them any wider, cast on a further 9 stitches for each extra pattern repeat.
