Crocheted Santa Boot Cuffs

Made these up for a friend. 

Measure the circumference of your calf.

Chain 13
HDC in the next stitch and across (12 HDC)
HDC each row until you reach the correct length for your calf.  These were 14 inches.
Now that it can wrap around your calf slip stitch (or sew) the two ends together to form a tube. 
On the top of your formed tube sc around and join with a slip stitch.
Do five rows of single crochet joining with a slip stitch and chaining one at the end of each row.
Change to black.
Do 3 rows of single crochet around.
Four more rows of sc in red.
Two rows of sc in furry white.  Cut the tail of this long so you can weave it back through and make it more furry and not taller.  I cut it 3 feet too long to add more fluff.
Weave in ends.
To make buckle:
With yellow yarn chain 6 and sc in next stitch across (5 sc)
Do this again.
Chain 5 and sc in next stitch across (4 sc)
Do this again.
 
Sew these onto the boot cuff forming a rectangle around the black stripe.
