Pattern: Easy Legwarmers

 

Materials:
  • - worsted weight yarn in four colors
  • fun fur (optional)
  • size K hook
  • scissors
  • yarn needle

Stitches/ Abbreviations Used (American terms):
  • ch - chain
  • slst - slip stitch

  • hdc - half double crochet
  • fpdc - front post double crochet
  • bpdc - back post double crochet
  • fo - finish off

Notes:
  • repeat everything inside the asterisks (**)
  • I used four colors and one fun fur color but you can use whatever you want. If you don't want to use fun fur, omit the sc rnds and replace them with hdc rnds
  • you can mix up the order of your fun fur rounds and how thick the stripes are

The Pattern:
