This is the pattern for the Warm Up Leg Warmers, a pair of cozy crochet leg warmers that are perfect for the cold season! They are a quick and rather simple project, making them the perfect gift for your friends and family!

Below you’ll find some technical information about the pattern.

SIZING

• There are 3 sizes available that are based on the width of your calf. The circumference of the upper part of the leg warmer for the sizes (S,M,L) are: (27,32,37) cm or 10.5,12.6,14.7 inches.
• The leg warmers are meant to have between 2 cm 0.8 in of positive ease and 2 cm of negative ease compared to your calf, depending on how high you want them to sit.
• The length of the leg warmer is very easily adjusted to your liking.

VERSIONS

• There are 3 different versions of each size depending on the amount of flare you want at the bottom; A: no flare, B: slight flare and C: flare!
• The flared effect is created by doing a number of short rows that don’t go all the way up, making the bottom wider than the top.
• In the pictures you can see version B (slight flare) which are the pink/yellow leg warmers and then version C (flare) which are the brown leg warmers. The yellow/pink are the standard length while the brown are shortened.
