Work In Progress: Leg Warmers!!!
Here is the newest pattern I’m working on! I’m really excited about these because I freakin looooove leg warmers! Seriously, if you had any idea how often I wear them, you’d be shocked that I hadn’t made a pair yet!
This pattern is going to be awesome because it will be able to be made in any size, with any yarn! So far I’ve only made them with light weight yarn. The tan is Sensations Cuddle and the green is Deborah Norville Serenity Sock Yarn.
The only thing holding me back from releasing the pattern is that I’ve been indecisive about the top. I may include ribbon and non-ribbon options but I think the height of the top part on the non-ribbon one needs to be smaller. What do you think? Which option do you prefer? Would you make these? What type of yarn do you think you’d use?
I like the ribbon option though they’re both SUPER cute. I do agree that the top portion of the tan ones could be a little smaller. Just a little though. I will definitely be checking back to buy the pattern!
I love them both x I personally don’t have the legs for them lol but my preference is the left- with it being higher. Easy enough for crocheter to make less rows if they wish x
I love them & would totally make a few pairs!! Personally I think the top portion should be somewhere between the length of the long one & the short one. I would not use ribbon for mine, but the ribbon option would be great for others. Excited to see the final pattern. Thank you!!
I like both, but prefer the ribbon one. I agree the top of the non-ribbon one could be a little smaller. I typically use worsted weight yarn. But I’d probably make these in DK or something similiar. I don’t usually use sock yarn, it’s too thin & makes my hands cramp up.
The non-ribbon one is really cute and I love the height! I would probably make one pair with worsted/bulky weight for the colder months and a sock weight pair for the spring.
I love the beige the best! The top is great or maybe just a wee bit shorter. I hope you post the pattern soon!! Thank you so much.
I think I like the short top a little better but I would wear either version. Maybe putting a ribbon around the center of the thicker top would look cute. I mostly crochet with worsted weight yarn.
I love these. I do think the top could be a little smaller. And I love how it looks in the fine yarn. My one concern for wearing would be how they stay up. That is a challenge for me in crocheted stuff instead of knitting. I wonder if there could be an option to crochet them and then add a knitted ribbing top–or to crochet around elastic at the top for extra security?
I love the tan ones! The top reminds me of sexy garters!!! I love the tan but the ribbon is ok too. I think you should have both!
Love them… are you working up a pattern for them?
The green one for sure! I would probably use sock yarn as well. I like the way it scrunches a bit at the bottom and I LOVE the ribbon you added :D I also like how it’s a small bit that isn’t laced at the top rather than the other one, which has a longer bit. I’d TOTALLY make ’em!! Ooh I hope the pattern comes soon!!! Thanx for sharing
I love the ribbon ones- I don’t care for the wide band of single crochet on the tan pair. The ribbon looks better and would probably help them to stay up. Maybe crocheting over a thin piece of elastic would help? I would probably make these using sock yarn.
If I were wearing the tan ones, I’d probably fold over the top – like a folded over cuff. The ribbon is sweet, but I wouldn’t wear it myself.
I’d make it with the length, as a crocheter, I normally modify the pattern in some way to suit me personally anyway so if someone didn’t like the length they can just modify it too.
Hi, great idea on leg warmers! I like the tan ones with maybe 1/2 the height of the ban. I have varicose veins in my legs so I’m afraid the ribbon might cut off circulation so I would go with the band. I would wear them! Way cute! I would take this pattern and shorten them to go mid calf and be worn with short boots. I would use a soft yarn.
Thanks, Tonya : )
Hi probably on the wrong page. I am looking for someone that can make hanging macrame for me. If you know someone please ask them to contact me. On my email.
