This pattern gives you the option to make any size and to use any yarn, so you’ll get a custom fit, and you can decide how warm (or not!) you want them to be. #2 Sport weight is a great option if you want a lighter weight leg warmer, or try a #4 worsted weight yarn if you want a quick project. Whatever yarn you choose, you’ll love making these leg warmers that feature a simple, textured pattern that’s easy to memorize, and cute i-cord ties that hold them up!

Yarn:
You can use just about any yarn you’d like for this pattern, however, a #2 sport weight – #4 worsted weight will probably work best. Yardage will vary depending on your yarn and the size you make.

Examples use #4 worsted weight yarn. Approximately 750 yards of Lion Brand Feels Like Butta in Cocoa for over the knee example. Approximately 480 yards of Bernat Bundle Up in Dove for below the knee example.

Supplies:
• Crochet hook in a size that suits your chosen yarn. I used a US Size I/9 (5.5mm) crochet hook
for my examples.
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Optional: double pointed knitting needles in a size that suits your chosen yarn (if you prefer to knit your i-cord rather than crochet).
• Optional: i-cord tool (if you prefer not to knit or crochet an i-cord, this is another option).
