Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn in rainbow colors (yarn shown is Red Heart Super Saver in: Cherry Red, Perfect Pink, Pumpkin, Bright Yellow, Spring Green, Turquoise, Orchid
• J (6.0 mm) crochet hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Scissors

Sizing As Shown:

• 7.5 inches tall
• 9.5 inch circumference
• (heart is 1.5 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide)

Instructions for Legwarmers:

Ch 28, join with a sl st in furthest ch from hook to make a ring. (Note: there is no specific multiple for this pattern, to make your legwarmers bigger/smaller around, simply make more or less chains).

Round 1: Ch 3 and work a dc in each ch. Join with a sl st to close round.

Round 2: Ch 3 (work the ch 3 as you would for a front post dc…see photo below…this will make it look like the other stitches in the round). Work a fpdc (fron post double crochet) in each dc. Join with a sl st to close round.

Repeat round 2 until legwarmers are 7.5 inches tall or desired height. I worked 18 rows of rainbow stripes. Proceed to “top edging” section.

These photos show you how to begin each round…if you place your hook behind the post before working the ch 3, it will make it look like all of the other stitches in the round.

Instructions for Top Edging:

Round 1: Ch 1 and work a fpsc (front post single crochet) in each dc from the previous round.

Round 2: Ch 1 and work a sc in the blo (back loops only) in each st. (note: photo at the top shows legwarmers with and without this round)

Instructions for Heart:

Instructions:

Chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.

Round 1 (work all stitches into the ring): dc, tr, dc, sl st, dc, tr, dc, sc, sc, sc, tr, sc, sc, sc, join to close heart and fasten off.

Finishing & Assembly:

With a tapestry needle, sew a heart to each legwarmer. Weave in any ends that remain and you’re finished!!
