The leg warmers are crocheted sideways using the short rows technique.
After some ribbing rows we will introduce the cables. We will make them by crocheting a few very short rows, joined to the fabric with the help of the joining stitches. We will divide the fabric into sections or fragments, which are repeated the number of times depending on the chosen measurements.
Once the leg warmer is finished, is closed in a circle by crocheting a seam row.
