​Knit Legwarmers with Frillings

You’ll need:

200g of grey yarn of mixed content (130m/50g);

A little bit of purple yarn;

Double-pointedknittingneedles 3;

Crochet hook 2,5;

Auxiliary knitting needles.

Instructions

Cast on 84 sts and turn to circle knitting, divide 21 sts on the knitting needles. Make 12 rows of 1 x 1 rib. Knit 2 sts out of 1 st in the next row. Transfer every increased st to the auxiliary needle – for frillings. Continue the main part with 3 knit sts x 1 purl, increase 1 st on each needle (22 sts on each needle).

After knitting 7 cm, make increase due to the description and transfer the sts to the auxiliary needle. After 3,5 cm of 3 knit sts x 1 purl, start making decreases: 3 sts in every 8^th row by means of knit2tog. After making 3,5 cm more, repeat the increase on the frillings and transferring of the sts to the auxiliary needle. Repeat twice with 7 cm of decreases, slip the sts for frillings. You should get 5 frillings. Cut the yarn after the 5^th frilling and knit 12 rows of 1 knit st x 1 purl, then, bind off the sts.

Frillings

Knit around with stockinette stitch. Make increases by means of making 2 sts out of 1 st, in every 3^rd row, starting from the 2^nd row. Divide the sts for increases: for the 1^st and 2^nd frillings – make them in every 3^rd row, i.e. 6 increases; for the 3^rd and 4^th frillings – in every 3^rd row, i.e., 5 increases; for the 5^th – in every 3^rd row, i.e., 4 increases. Fasten the edge of frillings with single crochets by means of the crochet hook and purple yarn.
