Leg Warmers
Lion Brand® Lion® Wool
GAUGE: 12 hdc + 9 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) with larger hook. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES: To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st.

| Leg Warmers Reviewed by HEATHER STUART on 2011-10-22 |

| I made these to pair with my daughter's Halloween costume this year. I misread the pattern at first and thought I did my own fix, but in the end, I think the pattern says to crochet in the round and I misunderstood. Either way, it was a simple pattern and these worked up quickly. And...my daughter LOVES them! I think I'll be making more very soon!
