Crochet Tutorial: Vertical Striped Leg Warmers

This is part of our Halloween Costumes for 2018! As you can see in this photo, I incorporated these leg warmers in Nate’s costume, but you can use these for any time of the year and for yoga!!

The time has come for us to start planning for the big Halloween Cosplay that I make each year. You can see my past years costumes here:

2015 Costumes

2016 Costumes

2017 Costumes

Each year I try to create costumes more epic than the one’s before. This year will be AWESOME!
As I create a series of patterns, each one released leading up to Halloween, they reveal clues to what Nate and I plan to wear!
Here is the Vertical Stripe Leg Warmers. The colors and design of this first piece are the clues to what the costume will be. Any guesses?

 

Watch this video tutorial to learn how to make these leg warmers:

There will be an added expense of more travel and hopefully this won’t deter our ability to provide consistent videos on a weekly basis.
