I used hobbi Halloween special sock yarn and a 3.5mm hook
Each ch 1 at the start of the row is not a stitch
The legwarmers are worked in rows for the button up edging and then in round down to the ankle
These fit a medium/large leg but with the fastening should be easily customisable
Chain 51,
1- Hdc in 2nd stitch and rest across, turn
2 - Ch1, hdc in first 3, ch1 and sk a stitch, then hdc across (first buttonhole
3 -Ch1, hdc in all stitches across
4 -repeat row 2
5 - repeat row 3
At the end of row 5 ss into first stitch of the row
You will work in rounds from now on
6 - Ch 1, 2dc in same stitch, *sk1, 2dc in next, sk1, 2dc in next, sk2, ch2 (sc, ch2, sc ) in next, sk2, ch2, 2dc in next st* repeat ** until last st, ss in-between first 2dc to join
7 - ch1, 2dc in same space, *2dc in-between each of next 2dc, (2dctog, ch1, 2dctog, ch1, 2dctog) in ch2 gap (between the sc) from previous row, 2dc in-between next 2dc* repeat ** around, ss in space between first 2dc of the row.
Repeat rows 6 and 7 until desired length
Bottom cuff
Ch1 Hdc in each stitch and ch space around, ss in first to join.
Repeat until cuff is desired height, fasten off and sew in ends!
Sew a button onto the cuff on the opposite side to the buttonholes, try on the legwarmers first to find where to place it for a snug fit for yourself
Now for the boring bit.
