Crochet Bow Leg Warmer
Materials Needed:
- Yarn: Preferably stretchy, like Lion’s Brand red yarn (the stretchiness is beneficial for this project)
- Crochet Hook: 5 mm size is used in the tutorial
- Ribbon: For the decorative lacing up at the end
- Scissors: For cutting yarn and ribbon
Crochet Pattern:
Starting Off:
Make a loop:
- and place it on your crochet hook.
Chain 27 stitches:
- (adjust the number based on the calf size; make sure there’s about 2 to 1 inch of open space in the front after wrapping it around your calf for measurement).
Main Part of the Leg Warmer:
- Double Crochet Stitch:
- Yarn over, insert your hook under the two loops of the next stitch, yarn over and pull through.
- Yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over again, and pull through the remaining two loops.
- Continue the double crochet stitch for the entire row.
- Continue for about 24 rows, or until you reach your desired leg warmer length.
Closing Off the Leg Warmer:
Last Double Crochet Stitch:
- Perform a final double crochet, cut the yarn off from the yarn ball, and pull the yarn through the top loop to secure.
Fold the work in half:
- ensuring the more aesthetically pleasing side is on the inside.
Joining the Edges:
- Starting at the bottom corner, weave your crochet hook under two loops from both edges, pulling through the yarn to start stitching the sides together.
Create Holes for Ribbon:
- Use a pattern of attaching both sides with 3 stitches (unknown stitch name) and then 4 slip stitches on one panel side to gradually move up and create a hole.
- Repeat the process till you are close to the top. If there isn’t enough room for another hole, simply do three stitches to close it off.
Adding the Ribbon:
Cut off six ribbon pieces:
- measuring 12 inches each (adjust based on the number of holes created).
Weave:
- the ribbon through the holes, starting either from the top or bottom, ensuring each hole has a ribbon through it.
Tie bows:
- with the ribbon for a decorative finish.
Final Steps:
Tie in any loose ends:
- of yarn.
Turn the leg warmer right side out:
- so the good side is now facing outward.
Adjust the ribbons:
- as needed to ensure they’re evenly spaced and not too tight.
