  1. In addition to choosing the color you want to wear, you should also take the texture into consideration.Make sure the yarn is comfortable and easy to work with.Buy several skeins of yarn, but all with the same dye lot, otherwise you may notice slight color differences between each one.[1]
    • Remember that the thicker the thread, the warmer the leg warmers will be.You can of course use a thinner yarn, as long as you are aware that they will not be as comfortable as those made with a heavier yarn.
  2. Basically this decision depends on the type of yarn chosen.The recommended crochet hook size for that specific yarn should be indicated on the packaging of the skeins of yarn.
    • You don't necessarily have to follow the advice on the size of the crochet hook, but if you don't choose the right one, the work could end up being tightly woven or too loosely woven.
  3. Specimens usually have a size of approximately 10.2 x 10.2 cm.and feature the same stitches you will use in the pattern.If you keep the thread too tight, you may need to use a larger hook.Likewise, if the stitches are too loose, you may need a smaller crochet hook.
  4. Choose the desired length on the leg and take measurements.Basically you will make a large crochet rectangle which you will then join together.The long side of the rectangle should match the length you would like for the leg warmers.

Making Crochet Leg Warmers

  1. Create a buttonhole about 6 inches.from the free end of the thread, which should hang behind the buttonhole.Insert the hook into the loop and hook the loose end before pulling it through the loop and onto the hook.[2]
  2. You can create more or fewer stitches in order to obtain a chain that corresponds to the desired length of the leg warmers.For adult leg warmers, you will probably make a chain about 11-15 inches long.Take note of the number of chain stitches so that the other leg warmer is the same length.
    • To make a chain stitch you will have to hold the hook in your right hand and wrap the working thread on the index finger of your left hand.Hold the end of the slipknot between the thumb and middle finger of your left hand, then loop the thread backwards around the hook handle, pulling it through the loop on the hook.Repeat this process to create the first basic row or chain.[3]
  3. Make 10 stitches like this.If you want a visual cue to tell you that you need to single crochet, you can attach a stitch marker.
    • To make a single crochet, insert the hook from front to back into the center of the second chain stitch from the hook.At this point you should have two loops on your hook.Throw the yarn or wrap it from right side to side around the hook and pass it through the chain stitch.Once again you should have two loops on your hook.Throw the thread again and pull it through the two loops.This way you will get single crochets.
    • Turning the work simply means turning it over, so that the last stitch you worked becomes the beginning of the next row.
    • To make a half double crochet, yarn over the hook once and skip the first two stitches on the row.Insert the hook into the center of the third stitch.Yarn over the hook once and pull the three stitches through the chain stitch.You will have three loops on the hook.Yarn over the hook again and pull the three stitches onto the hook.
  4. Remember that a chain stitch at the beginning of a row of single crochets is not counted as one stitch.[4]
  5. Continue working in the back buttonholes, repeating the procedure until you reach the desired length.
  6. When the leg warmer is large enough to fit on the leg, it will be time to finish the job.After the last stitch in the row, cut the thread leaving a tail of approximately 27.9-38.1 cm.Hold the hook straight and pull the end of the yarn all the way through the stitch.[5]
  7. You should overcast to join them, passing through each stitch from right side to wrong side and repeating the operation going down the entire length of the leg warmer.[6]
