I’m obsessed with how these Halloween leg warmers turned out! It’s an easy easy way to “dress up” for Halloween without having to actually dress up. Match them with some leggings and boots and BOOM! you’re ready to go trick or treating.
I feel like the size of leg warmers are really dependent on each individual. I don’t think I can really give a “size”, so because of this, I’m not including a stitch count at the end of each row. But it shouldn’t matter, as long as you know how to sc and dc, you’ll be able to make these with no problem. But know that they need to be fairly tight. They will loosen after wear, the ribbon should help with this, but make sure the starting chain fits tightly just above the knee.
