Crocheted Leg Warmers

I needed leg warmers for my Senator Amidala costume for Halloween.  I tried a few patterns but none of them fit right.  So I kept unraveling and starting again.  This was very frustrating so finally I just made up my own pattern.

Crocheted leg warmers

You need a H hook and a large ball of yarn depending on how tall you are.

You will need to adjust this pattern by your calf size and your calf length.  I just kept trying it on over and over.  My yarn wasn't very stretchy so you do need it to fit over your foot.

Abbreviations : ch = chain; dc = double crochet; hdc = half double crochet; sc =single crochet; st(s) = stitch(es); tr = triple stitch
