3. Begin the first row with a half double crochet (hdc) into the third chain from the hook and continue with one hdc in each chain across.

Row 2:

• Chain 2 (does not count as a stitch), turn your work, and hdc in every stitch across.

Row 3 (Cable Stitch Setup):

• Begin with Alpine Stitch detail (alternating hdc and front post double crochet until you reach your stitch marker).

Cozy Crochet Leg Warmer Tutorial

Follow this video tutorial to make the coziest and cutest-looking white-colored crochet leg warmers by yourself in no time.

Materials

• Yarn of your choice (in the tutorial, True Boo bamboo yarn by Lion Brand in white was used)
• 4.5 mm crochet hook (for the body of the leg warmer)
• 3.25 mm crochet hook (for the ribbed cuff)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Pattern Notes

• The pattern is customizable and measurement-based, so it's important to measure against the leg for both length and width.
• The stitch used for the body is referred to as an "almond stitch."
• The cuff is created with ribbing.

Making

Body of Leg Warmer

1. Create a loose chain that is a multiple of 8 + 5. This will account for the height of the leg warmer. Ensure to leave extra space for the ribbed cuff at both ends.
2. Start with a slip stitch into the second chain from the hook and the next three stitches, totaling four slip stitches.
3. Work four half-double crochets into the next four chains.
4. Continue the pattern across the chain, alternating four slip stitches and four half-double crochets.
5. Start each new row by chaining one and turning in your work.
6. For the remainder of the body panel, work only in back loops.
7. Alter the starting stitch of each alternating row between slip stitch and half-double crochet.
8. Repeat this process until the piece can wrap comfortably around the widest part of your calf.

Ribbed Cuff (Top and Bottom)

1. Switch to the smaller 3.25 mm crochet hook.
2. Starting on one edge of the completed body panel, pull through a slip knot at the corner stitch.
3. Chain one and single crochet evenly across the top edge of the body panel.
4. For the ribbing, chain an even number for the cuff's desired length (20 was used in the tutorial), plus one extra chain for the turning chain.
5. Single crochet back down the chain to the edge of the body panel.
6. To secure the ribbing, slip the stitch into the top edge of the leg warmer. Use two slip stitches as the turning chain.
7. Continue single crocheting in back loops only along the cuff.
8. Work the ribbed cuff back and forth until it wraps around the top of the calf.
9. Repeat these steps for the bottom cuff, though the tutorial suggests making the bottom cuff half the length of the top cuff's chain.

Seaming

1. Fold the leg warmer lengthwise inside out, aligning the edges.
2. Using a hook suitable for seaming (a 3.75 mm hook is used in the tutorial), begin to single-crochet the seam closed.
3. Work all the way down, making sure to pick up stitches from both sides.
4. Once you reach the end, chain one, cut the yarn, and pull it through to secure it.

Optional Bow Detail

1. Create an i-cord using a 4 mm crochet hook.
2. Chain 3, and work an i-cord to the desired bow length.
3. Secure, cut, and weave in the ends.
4. Thread the i-cord through the stitches near the top of the leg warmer and tie it into a bow.

Remember to weave in all ends. Repeat the entire process to create the second leg warmer. Customize it by changing the bow colors or using different trims like lace or ribbon.
