These summer hiking gaiters were quick to make. Cut off the lower portion of an old long-sleeve knit top. Hemmed the cut edges to become the new lower edges of the gaiters. Added gaiter hooks with elastic. Sewed small tucks at the upper center back (the old sleeve hem) for a just-right snug fit above footwear. Keeps trail debris out of hiking boots or trail runners.
