Legwarmers are great for helping to keep the legs and ankles warm. They are not only quick and easy to crochet up, but they are also very durable.
You can make these legwarmers any length that you want simply by repeating the pattern rows. I used Bernat Satin, but you can basically use any worsted weight yarn that you have on hand. The pattern is very simple, but it has somewhat a lacy look to it.
Material: Bernat Satin Yarn, 2-3.5 oz./100gr balls.
Hook size: H/8-5.00MM
Gauge: 2 Inches across 8sc, and 8 ribbing pattern rows.
Finished size: 16 inches long and 10 inches in circumference.
Make 2
Working Lengthwise
Row 1: Ch 9, sc in second ch from hook, and in next 7 chs. (8 sc)
Row 2: Work in back loops only. Ch 1, and sc in each sc across.
Rows 3-36: Repeat row 2 which forms ribbing pattern. Join back loops with free loops on beginning ch with sl sts.
Working in the round
Rnd 1: Ch 1, sc in end of each row all around. Join with sl st. (36 sc)
Rnd 2: Ch 3, dc in each sc all around. Join with sl st.
Rnd 3: Ch 1, sc in same st and in top of each dc around all around. Join with sl st.
Rnd 4: Ch 1, sc in same st, (ch 3, miss next 2 sc, sc in next sc) 11 times. Ch 3, join with sl st in first sc. (12 loops)
Row 5: Sl st into loop, ch 3, 2 dc in same loop, (3 dc) in each loop all around, join with sl st in top of ch 3.
Rnd 6: Ch 1, sc in same st and in each dc around.
Rep rounds 2-6 another 5 times, or until desired length reached.
Working lengthwise
Row 1: Ch 9, sc in second ch from hook, and in next 7 ch, sl st in corresponding sc on the last round, and in next sc. Turn. DO NOT ch 1.
Row 2: Sc in back loops of 8 sc lengthwise. Ch 1, turn.
Row 3: Sc in back loops in next 8 sc, sl st in corresponding sc in the round, and in next sc. Turn. DO NOT ch 1.
Rows 4-35: (Repeat row 2, then row 3) 16 times.
Row 36: Repeat row 2.
Join the back loops with free loops of first 9 ch with sl st. Fasten off.
