Floofy Leg Warmers
Materials
1 Sk of any worsted weight yarn.
4Sk of Lionbrand Fun fur or your choice of fuzzy yarn
Size I/5.5mm hook or any hook to obtain gauge
Yarn needle/Tapestry Needle
Gauge: 12st x 6 Rows = 4in x4in
Pattern notes:
If you find it difficult to ensure that R1 creates a straight loop with no twists, you may continue onto R2 without joining. Join at the end of R2. The final fur border will close the gap.
The fur yarn tends to make it both difficult to make the CRST and also cover any mistakes. It is ok if it doesn’t make an obvious CRST, the point is to add bulk to the fur.
Because the fur added weight to leg warmer, I found it necessary to add a drawstring to the top of the cuff to keep it from falling down.
Special Stitches:
Crocodile stitch (CRST):
Note: The Crocodile stitch can be constructed in multiple ways, it won’t matter which way you construct it is as long as you are using 2DC, 1DC to build around as the fur will cover the actual stitches. The CRST can be difficult to explain in writing and many crocheters may benefit from finding a video to help explain.
Using a base of 2DC, 1DC Crochet 5DC down the first 2DC post, Crochet 5DC up the second 2DC post, SC into the top of the next 1DC.
FPDC: YO, Insert hook from the front of project to the back of project around the DC post, YO, pull up a loop, draw through 2 loops, draw through final 2 loops.
BPDC: YO, Insert hook from back of project to front of project around the DC post, YO, pull up a loop, draw through 2 loops, draw through final 2 loops.
Shell stitch: 5DC in indicated stich, sk 2 st, sc in next st
