• Hook: Size N (10 mm) crochet hook

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Begin with the Ribbed Cuff

1. Chain 8. This will form the foundation of your ribbed cuff.
2. Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. Turn your work. You should have 7 single crochets.
3. Row 2: Chain 1, then sc in the back loop only of each stitch across. Turn your work.
4. Repeat Row 2 until the piece measures 10 inches in length. This creates the ribbed texture.
5. Once you reach the desired length, join the ends with a slip stitch to form a circle.

2. Body of the Leg Warmers

1. Change to cream yarn for the body of the leg warmers.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (this counts as your first double crochet), then double crochet (dc) in each row end around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2. You should have 20 double crochets.
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then *front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next dc, back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next dc; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch.
4. Round 3: Chain 2, then *skip the next dc, fpdc around the next dc, fpdc around the skipped dc; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch.
5. Continue repeating Round 3 until the piece measures 12 inches from the cuff.

3. Finish

1. Once you have reached the desired height, fasten off your yarn.
2. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish.
