With a yarn (Merino Aran) wi th which I use a 5 mm hook, how many stitches do you think I need to get started with the frontpost DC, back post DC? This is to go around top of calf, just below knee (not thigh as I believe yours are planned to fit). Thanks! (also, do you think 200 g of yarn will be enough for both legwarmers ? ) Thanks so much.
Hi - that I would not know, your foundation chain stitches will depend on the thickness of your yarn, hook, how tight you crochet your stitches and the measurement of your calf - you need to do a swatch and then decide how many stitches (also I will have to put elastic in mine as they like to keep slipping) - I usually put link to my blog where there is a lot more explanation and or a written pattern in the DESCRIPTION below the video - here it is and I hope it will help you - handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2018/01/unicorn-legwarmers.html
thank you 🌸 the yarn I used is not much stretchy, you may have to use some elastic so it holds on her legs 😉, it holds a bit over the leggings, but falls eventually. there are quality yarns that I would rather use for this project.
I've finished one & I just love it. These work up pretty fast & are just beautiful. I'll be doing two sets, one for me & one for my daughter. I couldn't be happier with this tutorial. Thanks again. 😁
Hi C, they are still in fashion - but as leg warmers for the boots mainly - for a fashion statement :-) But I like leg and arm warmers also for the cold time in the house before I turn heat up in the fall/winter... 🌸
This is a beautiful stitch pattern that I’m going to use for a blanket also. I didn’t catch the name of the stitch if you said it however. Thank you for the tutorial because reading written patterns is confusing for me.
Whow!! I could watch you smile all day!! !'m glad that your modelling shots were at the end of the video, because I'm certain that nobody would have been able to concentrate on your excellent video! 👏😊 Thank you! BTW, the legwarmers look extra good! My daughter wants some, but I do not know how to crochet yet. So I'll have to find a knitting pattern!
A year ago I started to knit legwarmers - but I didn't like how I did it - so I put it on the back burner... I want to redesign the idea... so one of these days you may see knitted legwarmers 😉 and here are some flowers for being such a gr8 follower and never complain about free videos LOL 🌹🌺🌼💮🌸💐
Lol!!! "There are worse things in life than mismatched yarn with a knot." You made me laugh!!! Also, I finished one leg warmer and I'm starting on the other one.

i'm about midway through my first leg warmer, and I was wondering if there was a way to make it smaller around the ankles? Since my thighs are bigger than my ankles, it gets really baggy when it comes down to the ankles. Thanks!
Good question Christine 🌸, I like the flare up at the ankles, but if you want you could do the same effect of crocheting through the back and front posts on both ends, or try to decrease so it is narrower at the bottom - good luck 🍀
Hi Ellen, this is a great question - this is what I would do: when I would crochet the length to the ankle area (where the heel starts), I would crochet 1/2 of the row, then cast on new stitches (chain) and attach them to the beginning of the row. I would start new row. When I would reach to the pinkie toe, I would start decreasing to close the toe area. Of course you would not have the heel covered, not sure if that is very important, but this is what I would do. You could do so called after thought heel, but I do not have any video on that. Hope this helps. 🍀🍀
Vicki - Yes, use any thickness you want but adjust the repeats to the size of your thighs 🌸, you can also use a smaller hook - which would make smaller stitches and thus it would get smaller in diameter (but I am not sure how that would work out for you)
Doing this in black, and have no proper light... this is worse than a knot and mismatched colors... can't see a thing! Other than that it's going great! Thanks for the great video :)
well you certainly made me laugh (although I should not, because working with a black color in dark is not a stroll in a rose garden for sure) - but thank you for letting me know it is going well otherwise :-) 🌹
Just wanted to shoot in I'm up to row four in the changing patterns part (after the first 10 front and back post ones), and realized you weren't kidding when you said you had skinny legs! Tried it on, and it's pretty tight even at the calf.. I guess I should have listened better. Despite thinking I have skinny legs. I didn't take into account they're skinny for someone of 180 cm.... Thigh above knees measure to about 17 inches... Undo time!! But I'm confident once size issue is fixed, it'll be great ^^
Yess - add stitches in your last row (of front and back post stitches) and make sure you add for the multiples (not sure if 1 or 2 multiples for you) - I have a feeling you know what you need to do - my thigh right above the knee is 14"
I had to restart about three times before I was content with the size :) Now I'm done with two black ones in wool, and I'm finally able to not freeze to death at my bfs place. (I'm used to 25 degrees inside, he keeps it at 21. I'll get used to it, eventually!) Was afraid they might be too tight, but they seem alright. Thanks for the help!
Gaby - I don't have time - I work now full time and at the moment overtime (this leg warmers video took about 60 hours to make = start to finish), but you could make lower number of repeats to fit smaller leg - and you would have to put also an elastic so it stays up and doesn’t fall down 🍀
hi, are by any chance decreasing? - or is it just how you crochet? the cuff is a little thicker so it may feel wider, however, my piece is stretchy lengthwise and widthwise too. My legs and arms are thin, and perhaps you may do more repeats (increase to few extra stitches after the cuff)? Or switch to a bigger hook if you are able to put your leg/arm through. I hope this helps. 🍀
Hi MsLuckywun - I think I made this video for lefties too... can you please check my channel - if I made it for lefties it should be there somewhere 😉🌹
Dont be so harsh.... Thats kind of a thing with young females to have mismatched garments.. Like same colors but opposite lol i like them. They are not too different. I imagine no one will say anything about your beautiful work
Sorry I sounded like I am "criticizing" - I love it too (I am young at heart) - just most people love it exactly the same way, so that is why I said it is disappointing not to have it matched 😉 🌹🌹🌹 - thank you for your input 👍 👍
Floofer I started crocheting not long ago. It’s easy if you just try it out. Get a nice yarn (bit thick, not thin, acrylic (I find wool hard to work with, it’s like it resists and wants to tangle), and a needle that fits. (Ask in the yarn store/follow pattern recommendations). Then follow a video and do _exactly_ what they tell you to do. A long ring like in this video can be intimidating, cause it’s hard to get control. But it’ll get better soon. If ypu have to unravel and start again a few times, that’s just part pf the experience:p You could also look up tutorials on how to do different stitches. My first project was a virus shawl. Was pretty easy. These will be my next project! Just need some yarn...
@@marthasantanaguerrero5584 As legwarmers I wear them over the tights, as arm-warmers I wear them over a tight blouse - so it doesn't slip down... also you could sew in an elastic if you want to wear this item on your bare body

The pattern is multiple of 4 ... You should make as many chains to fit your leg, making sure the total is a multiple of 4

Does this fit all adult size’s?? If not make a video with larger stiches please
Hi Martha, it fits young adults or women with thin legs - just make it wider by adding 1+ repeats and 1+ rows for a bigger size
i'm about midway through my first leg warmer, and I was wondering if there was a way to make it smaller around the ankles? Since my thighs are bigger than my ankles, it gets really baggy when it comes down to the ankles. Thanks!
Good question Christine 🌸, I like the flare up at the ankles, but if you want you could do the same effect of crocheting through the back and front posts on both ends, or try to decrease so it is narrower at the bottom - good luck 🍀
How do you decrease???
Hi is there any way to add a foot to this for someone who is in plaster to the knee?
Hi Ellen, this is a great question - this is what I would do: when I would crochet the length to the ankle area (where the heel starts), I would crochet 1/2 of the row, then cast on new stitches (chain) and attach them to the beginning of the row. I would start new row. When I would reach to the pinkie toe, I would start decreasing to close the toe area. Of course you would not have the heel covered, not sure if that is very important, but this is what I would do. You could do so called after thought heel, but I do not have any video on that. Hope this helps. 🍀🍀
Is there a way to make these on a loom?
I have a diabetic with thin legs what do you suggest I do?? I count d 38 chains to do her leg and that’s the losses that I can make it?
Hi Martha - if the legs of the person are even thinner than mine, I would decrease my stitches by 1-??? repeats depending on the diameter of the leg
Can I use thicker yarn? I hate the thin yarn
Vicki - Yes, use any thickness you want but adjust the repeats to the size of your thighs 🌸, you can also use a smaller hook - which would make smaller stitches and thus it would get smaller in diameter (but I am not sure how that would work out for you)

This is great - I am happy you could figure out resizing - how many stitches did you cast on?
Can u make in video for a 3-4 year old for her ballet
Gaby - I don't have time - I work now full time and at the moment overtime (this leg warmers video took about 60 hours to make = start to finish), but you could make lower number of repeats to fit smaller leg - and you would have to put also an elastic so it stays up and doesn’t fall down 🍀
My cuff is great, but the bottom is getting a lot tighter, almost too tight. How can I correct this?
hi, are by any chance decreasing? - or is it just how you crochet? the cuff is a little thicker so it may feel wider, however, my piece is stretchy lengthwise and widthwise too. My legs and arms are thin, and perhaps you may do more repeats (increase to few extra stitches after the cuff)? Or switch to a bigger hook if you are able to put your leg/arm through. I hope this helps. 🍀
