Nothing is impossible for diligence and art.
If previously such a thing was part of a sports uniform, then modern fashion suggests wearing this product even with high-heeled shoes. Knitted leg warmers, descriptions and diagrams of which you will see below, can be knitted tightly to fit and warm the leg, loosely in several folds, and can also be openwork, being only a decorative item. If you are new to this business, first of all, read the initial knitting course: find out what types of loops and patterns there are, try to make simple things according to the descriptions.
Such a wardrobe item can be multi-colored, monochromatic, or associated with the use of a specific pattern. Inexperienced needlewomen should not take on complex patterns; they are easy to get confused in; it is better for them to master them. You should not use too thick or thin yarn: in the first case, the item will be uncomfortable to wear, and in the second, it will be difficult and time-consuming to knit. If you knit in the round as described, you won't need a pattern. And if there is a seam, it must be made in the form of a rectangle, where the smaller side is the girth of the calf, and the larger side is the length of the item.
The knitted wardrobe item presented in this description is suitable for ballet, yoga, sports, and everyday wear in a casual style. According to the instructions below, even a novice needlewoman will be able to knit a fashionable and beautiful thing. The pattern consists of alternating purl and knit stitches, yarn overs and knobs (knots). Thanks to this, the thing looks voluminous. To work you will need two skeins of yarn and circular knitting needles. The knitting begins and ends with a simple 2x2 elastic band, and between them you need to make a pattern according to the pattern below.

To master the creation of this product from melange yarn, use the instructions at the end of the section. Melange thread looks very interesting in the finished item and does not require the use of complex patterns. For work you will need mixed yarn from acrylic and mohair, melange, knitting needles. To make the product more dense, use the thread in two folds. The item is knitted in the form of a rectangular fabric, which must be sewn after finishing the work.

Many people do not like to throw away old things, preferring to give them a second life, which is, in principle, justified, both from the point of view of economy and from the point of view of the manifestation of creative thought. So sweaters and jumpers that are not worn and half-forgotten can serve to replenish your wardrobe with new leg warmers. The conversation about this began in the article “”. It's time to continue.
What if you have a white jumper with textured white sleeves tied with a thick elastic band in your unclaimed wardrobe? This is also useful in order to get leggings that are noticeable to others. We wash the white jumper with the addition of rinse aid, make sure that the sleeves are not damaged by any stains and proceed to the alteration.
In this case, the sleeve will be cut off at the shoulder seam. That is, we tear off the sleeve from the jumper. The jumper itself can be converted into a vest if desired. And we free the cut sleeve from the unsightly edges of the seam. It is better to process the edge manually using white thread. The gaiter will turn out “with a tongue”, i.e. with the part that used to be the shoulder. This type of gaiter can be worn with shoes, then the “tongue” will cover the open part of the instep. Your legs will be warm, and the leg warmers, which widen towards the bottom, can be worn lowered, which is usually used when creating a casual look.
Leg warmers can also be a home clothing option, as they do not interfere with the legs, but on the contrary, they provide warmth and protection. When the autumn winds blow through half-open windows as the weather changes, and the heating season is not yet in full swing, soft fluffy leg warmers will keep you warm, even if it’s chilly in the apartment.
For home leggings, we choose an old jumper with angora thread. They haven't worn these for a long time, but for some reason it got stuck on the closet shelf. It turns out not in vain. Again, measure the pole along the length of the sleeve parallel to the cuff and trim the sleeves. Now we need a small skein of leftover yarn of a suitable color. If there is only yarn left in a contrasting color, then we can add regular thin sewing thread to it for a binding color scheme. For example, in our case, creamy white yarn with the addition of green cotton sewing thread was selected for grey-green leggings.
Using a crochet hook, we tie the edge of the cut of the former sleeve with ordinary stitches, trying to thread the hook into each vertical row of loops, this is necessary so that the loops “do not move” during further use of the leggings. We knit a row of simple stitches and two rows of double crochet stitches. To make the product look harmonious, we tie the lower part of the leggings along the sleeve cuff in the same way. And to keep the leggings at the required height, we knit a lace from the same thread using a hook, which we can easily thread through the top of the leggings. Voila! In 20 minutes, leg warmers appeared for the house. And for your man, you can buy men's shirts. He will be happy with the leggings just like you.
You can also make a more elaborate version of home leg warmers. To do this, we use a sweater with a thick, slightly shrunken knit. We repeat the “measure and cut” procedure, again using knitting threads and a hook to finish the edge. Only in this case we tie the top of the leggings with three times as many stitches, there should be at least 10 of them, and we finish the knitting with ruffles, which will be obtained from simple arches of air loops that are knitted into each loop of the main knitting. To prevent the top of the leggings from falling off, we use a trick: under the cuff we place a cut-off circular sector from an unnecessary stocking, tights or knee socks made of modern elastic tightening threads. This will give us an alternative to elastic, which would tighten the calves too much.
If you don’t want a ruffle, then you can complete the processing of the leg warmers by knitting in the form of a wavy edge, when several stitches are knitted into one loop. These leg warmers will resemble knee socks with a designed elastic band, which will look appropriate at home in combination with short house trousers.
Leg warmers are not only warm, but also very beautiful and stylish. And if earlier this type of clothing was more considered sportswear, suitable only for aerobics and gymnastics, today it is worn as everyday clothing. Gaiters are made from different materials: fabric, fur, leather, yarn. There is probably not a single girl, young woman, or young woman who doesn’t like leg warmers. Therefore, the wardrobe of every representative of the fair sex should include several pairs of warm and beautiful “clothes” for her legs. And you don’t have to buy them in the store. Each of you, dear ladies, can make leg warmers with your own hands. How? You will find the answer to this question in our article.
With our own hands we can literally sew this item of clothing in half an hour. What is needed for this? Old sweater, sewing machine, scissors, needle, pins, elastic band. Then follow the description.
Do you have classic style low boots? Complement them with stylish accessories such as women's fur leg warmers. Sewing them with your own hands will not be difficult. Prepare the following materials for work:
Let's start making leggings. From the cuff, cut out a piece that is the same size as the circumference of the bottom of your leg. Sew these blanks to the fur ones. This procedure can be performed either manually or by machine. Next, connect the edges of the products along the wrong side and sew them together, forming a “pipe”. Turn out the gaiters. Fur “clothes” are ready to warm your feet.
You can make these wardrobe items yourself using knitting needles. For those who are familiar with the technology of knitting front and back loops, we suggest making bright striped leg warmers. To work, you will need yarn of different colors (100 g) and sock knitting needles (5 pieces).
Cast on 66 stitches and distribute them onto 4 needles. Work in circular rows, replacing thread of one color with another as desired. When the work reaches a height of 30-35 cm, switch to knitting with an elastic band 1 x 1. Make a cuff about 5 cm high. Next, close the loops. You can insert a thin elastic thread along the upper edges. Leg warmers decorated with pompoms will look good.
If you do not know circular knitting, then make the product with a straight fabric on two knitting needles. Then create a seam.
You learned how to make leg warmers with your own hands. Take note of these three ways to make them. We hope that very soon you will have warm and fashionable handmade leg warmers in your wardrobe.
When cold weather sets in, we all try to warm ourselves up, buy new pairs of warm tights, and knit warm scarves and socks. But at the same time, a real girl should remain fashionable and attractive at any time of the year.
