​Simple Leg-Warmers

You’ll need:

1 skein of Katia, Inca Ice, color 307 yarn (20 ply);

Crochet hook 8 mm and 12 mm;

Sewing needle.


Stitches control: 10 sts x 8 rows = 15 x 15

Instructions

If you have a scale, start by separating your yarn into two equal halves. Simply roll off yarn from the ball until you have 2 balls weighing 50g each. If you don’t have a scale, work from both ends of the yarn at the same time, thus making both legwarmers at the simultaneously (one from each end of the ball of yarn)

1st row: Chain just long enough to fit tightly around your calf. (I used 20 chain so for the purpose of this pattern I’ll use that number throughout). Join with a SS into the 1st ch, making sure the chain hasn’t twisted anywhere. Ch1, starting in 1st ch, HDC in every ch around. (20)

2nd-12th rows: *Ch1, Starting in the 1st st, HDC in every stitch around.* At the end of the row, join with a SS in the 1st HDC. *Repeat until you run out of yarn.

13th row: Ch1, Starting in the 1st st, SC in every stitch around. Join with a SS in 1st SC.

To tie off, ch1, cut yarn (unless your crocheting from 2 separate balls) and pull the loose end all the way through.

Weave in the loose ends with your yarn sewing needle by sewing in and out of the nearby stitches, changing direction sharply to lock your loose ends in place.

Very cute, but why the two different hook sizes?

The smaller size hook is stated if you want to make them not so «huge»
