15+ Free Leg Warmer Patterns To Knit (Plus A Few Crochet)

Whether you’re wanting a pair of leg warmers to help keep off the chill during the winter months or use them to accessorize an outfit, you’ll find plenty of good ideas in this collection. I’ve sorted the patterns into two groups, one for Adult sizes and the other for Children & Babies (though most are for grownups). The list is mainly knitting projects but I included a small number of crochet goodies as well (you’ll find them linked to at the bottom of each group). I’ll continue looking for new projects to add to this page so you may want to bookmark it for future reference. Enjoy!
