Knitted leg warmers: diagrams and description

Leg warmers can not only be a warm product, but also change the image of the copyright holder. How much cuter a woman's leg looks in shoes and leg warmers. Winter looks can be created using boots and insulated leg warmers. A very unusual combination of flat shoes and this thing. But most inspiring are the sophisticated models with lace inserts or cute pom-poms.

Next are three models of leggings that will delight not only women’s hearts.

What yarn is suitable for leg warmers?

What should be the fiber for gaiters? Everything is simple here, the threads must be beautiful, and this is the main criterion.

But thinner people with sensitive skin should still choose hypoallergenic threads and non-prickly fibers, especially children's models. Threads with different inclusions and very bright and bold colors are becoming quite a fashionable solution this season. They are presented further in the description.

We are in a hurry to do something similar, and not spend a lot of time and effort on it.

Knitted leg warmers

Three women's models that will delight and make your legs not only warmer, but brighter and more beautiful. Each has its own description, convenient diagram and tips on how to avoid mistakes in creation. Let's look at the diagrams and stages of work step by step for beginners. We knit easily and quickly for women and girls (for warmth, beauty and dancing).

Women's leg warmers with knitting pompoms

Funny leg warmers are suitable for winter and autumn. Low boots and even regular sneakers will perfectly complement the look. They will fit well with a knitted short dress and fitted skinny jeans. The bottom is loose and suitable for high heels.

For work use:

• beaded yarn with smooth and shiny thread;
• knitting needles according to the thickness of the thread (stocking).

Measurements

Be sure to measure the circumference just below the knee so that you can knit the leg warmers to fit without pulling them up. For a tighter fit, immediately subtract 3 cm from the resulting measurement. Measure the length from the knee to the foot and add 4 cm.

Sample

It is very important that such unfinished socks are made to size, so that they will not overtighten the legs, which is extremely dangerous, and will not fall off and cause trouble when worn.

A small sample will help you make the correct set of loops. It should be carried out strictly according to the pattern of the base of the canvas products. Knit a small square and measure the number of loops per 10 cm, and the number of rows per 10 cm. These two indicators will help you calculate how many rows you need to knit along the length of the rows, and how many loops you will need in the set for the first circle of the elastic band.

The basis

For the base, you need to start from the canvas from top to bottom. To knit in circular rows and you can use three knitting needles, you can use 4 or the whole set. For whom it is more convenient to carry out the work, this canvas will not change. Using the first pattern, knit 10 cm. This is a 2 by 2 elastic band.

Next, make the transition to a canvas with unfinished braids. A very interesting pattern that makes the leg warmers very voluminous and unusual.

Knit the fabric halfway, and then add 3 loops in each row. Knit like this until the end of the warp. Then change the pattern again and make a small border using a garter stitch. It will be enough to complete only 6 rows.

Laces

Make the laces using a set of loops and one row of stockinette stitch. The second row just close the loops. If you knit in 2 threads, you get a very strong cord.

Pompon

To make a pompom, you can use simple forks. Wind the yarn, then insert it between the teeth of the thread and tighten well. Tie and you can trim the ends of the pompom.

Assembly

Tuck the elastic a little and insert the laces into the fold. Sew a pompom to each edge. In total, you will need 2 pom poms to make the product.

Bright women's leg warmers knitted

Pink leg warmers made of thin thread with knitting needles for an original female look. They are made with a simple elastic band, but they are so charming. A girl should have such bright models, they will easily cheer up. This pattern knits up quickly and is ideal for dancing, etc.

To work you will need:

• thin cotton thread;
• knitting needles number 2.

Measurements

Measure the calf circumference and length of the required product along your leg. Make an increase of only 5 cm. This way the model can be worn with high heels. Reduce the circumference by 2 cm.

Sample

Cast on 36 stitches with knitting needles and make a small sample using a 2 by 2 elastic pattern. Knit a square fabric and calculate the knitting density for it. Next, determine how many loops will be needed to complete such a bright pattern, and how many rows will need to be knitted.

The basis

For a leg circumference of 25 cm, according to calculations of the density and thickness of the thread, 80 loops were obtained. You need to knit in circular rows. It is very important that the set of loops corresponds to a multiple of 4. So that the pattern is without displacement and goes strictly in a circle. Knit the required number of loops. It is very important to make both edges elastic. But not everyone knows how to close the loops so that the edge is elastic and stretches well. There are many ways to do this, but a multi-transfer stitch works well for this pattern. First, close one loop, and first thread it through one loop, then thread it again through another loop.

The brightest model is ready, which will bring its bright changes to the image.

Leg warmers with lace and braids

Simply a luxurious combination. If a fashionista sees such models, she will immediately learn to knit. Very beautiful and feminine model. It’s like something from the past, so feminine and tasteful. Detailed description for this celebration.

For work use:

• pekhorka yarn;
• knitting needles according to the thickness of the thread;
• lace.

Measurements

Measure the circumference of the middle of the shin. Measure the length from the middle of the shin to the ankle (add only 2 cm).

Sample

Knit using the designated pattern small fabric with braids. Calculate the knitting density for it, and create formulas for calculating the required number of loops with knitting needles. Be sure to observe the number of rapports. Since the model has very interesting transitions from 1 to 1 elastic bands straight to the braids, smooth and without adding loops.

The basis

It is better to knit leg warmers of this model with elastic and from top to bottom. You need to cast on the number of loops according to the rapport and perform 4 cm with an elastic band 1 to 1. Next, make a smooth transition to the braids.Knit the rest of the fabric according to the pattern with braids, again 4 cm of 1 by 1 elastic and finish knitting with an elastic edge.

Decoration

In order to decorate the model, you need to sew lace around the edge. There will be secrets here. There is no need to sew it with simple threads because they do not stretch, and you can ruin the entire product with one wrong seam. Therefore, you should choose an elastic thread and walk along the edge of the lace and leggings.

Insert the lace from the inside, with a slight overlap. Some craftsmen prefer to use a crochet hook and make the lace themselves using a shell pattern. For it, you can use iris threads or take a slightly thicker cotton thread. For this product, you should not take a thread equal in thickness to the base, as the border will be very thick and it will no longer look so gentle and feminine.

Important! For craftsmen who are unsure of the strength of a hand seam, you can use a machine. You can also use elastic thread for this. But do not thread the top thread with it. The top should be a simple thread that matches the warp yarn. The lower thread is elastic, but change the tension with half a turn on the thread (the spool that holds the lower thread in the sewing machine).

Another cool model of leggings is ready.

Knitting beautiful things is not so difficult. Knitting is a pleasure and you can make excellent spats in just a few hours.
