Crochet Leg Warmers Frequently Asked Questions
How do you crochet leg warmers?
Crocheting a pair of leg warmers is a great way to work out the basics of crocheting. If you’ve never made leg warmers before, they’re not that hard. Most of these crochet leg warmers patterns are worked in the round, although some can be worked flat.
You can make simple leg warmers with basic stitches or go crazy with cables and laces. The best part is that leg warmers look great in every colorway, and you don’t need all that much yarn. Hello, stash buster!
Are crochet leg warmers easy to crochet?
Leg warmers are a great beginner project because they often use simple stitches and basic skills. As long as you steer clear of any intricate lacework or cable work, then a beginner crocheter should be totally fine.
What is the best yarn for crochet leg warmers?
Your best bet is probably to go for wool, mohair, or nylon when crocheting leg warmers. These are durable, have good elasticity, and are fairly easy to wash and care for. You just need to decide what is most important to you and what your budget is. From there, it should be easy to decide which one you like to make your leg warmers with.
What is the best hook to pick for crochet leg warmers?
This is basically determined by the type of yarn you’ve chosen. The yarn package should give a suggested hook size for use with that specific yarn. The hook size suggestion doesn’t have to be followed, but your crocheting might turn out knotty or too loose.
What length should crochet leg warmers be?
Generally, 14 inches (36 cm) is a good length for your leg warmer. However, you can make it longer or shorter as you see fit. It may help to measure your own legs so you have an idea of how long you’d like your leg warmer to be.
How are crochet leg warmers measured?
Determine how long you want your leg warmers to be. Note where you’d like them to fit on your leg, then measure that length. You’ll essentially be crocheting one large rectangle before joining it together. The longest part of that rectangle should match the length you’d like for your leg warmers.
How do you keep your leg warmers in place?
Most leg warmer patterns have some ribbing at the tops and bottoms or a drawstring tie to hold everything in place. It really is that simple!
How to style leg warmers?
Leg warmers are a simple accessory with a lot of varying potential. They have been worn by athletes, dancers, and figure skaters, over tights or leggings, but also by street style mavens, with flats, boots, heels, sneakers, and Uggs.
There are two different approaches one could take when styling a pair of leg warmers.
Option one: really lean into the ballet core trend and pair the leg warmers with ballet flats, a little mini skirt and some tights.
Option two: the trend doesn’t need to be so literal—style your leg warmers in an unexpected way by throwing on a pair of heels and a midi skirt. Adding crochet leg warmers to your outfits this fall and winter is an easy way to participate in one of the season’s biggest trends without having to break the bank!
