Crochet Fan Leg Warmers ~ FREE Crochet Pattern

Crocheted leg warmers are one of my favorite ways to keep warm in the cold winter months. They are great for providing extra warmth and can be worn underneath pants, pajamas or even with long or short skirts.

This leg warmer pattern could pass as a beginner crochet pattern, but it might be a bit more difficult due to the triple crochet stitches. I’d say it’s the perfect pattern to try once the single and double crochets have been mastered.

The size for these is easy to adjust, including both the circumference and the length. In row 18 I added slots for a string to help keep the warmers up. You could omit that row if you only want short ankle warmers or don’t want the string.
