A must have accessory for every dancer! A good friend of mine owned a dance studio and had a daughter that was just starting to dance. Of course she needed to have a pair of leg warmers to accessorize with!! My 3 girls have danced for years and have had a few pairs of leg warmers stitched for them along the way. Truth be told…they are one of my favorite projects to make. Who am I kidding?! I love to stitch everything. LOL!!

Purple Leg Warmers Pattern Info:
Unfortunately I don’t exactly remember what pattern I used to stitch these up. I want to say it was Over the Shoes Little Girl’s Legwarmers by Deja Jetmir. While I am not 100% sure I’m remembering that correctly, I am ALMOST positive that is the pattern I used to stitch these.
Leg Warmer Yarn Choices
Good yarn choices to use to make this would be Vanna’s Choice, Caron Simply Soft Party, and Red Heart Soft. I recommend any of these. I stitched this particular set up in the Caron Simply Soft Party yarn in sparkle purple. That is the yarn I used primarily for anything I stitched for little girls because the sparkle is so much fun and the yarn is surprisingly soft. I still use this yarn a lot now. I really love it. A good place to check out to see if you could find good sales on any of these yarns are the Lion Brand Website, the Create For Less website and of course, Amazon.
Crochet Hooks and Tools
Something else that comes in handy if you decide you’d like to stitch these sets up for yourself is a good set of crochet hooks. My favorite brand to use are the Knit Picks brand. They are so beautiful and it makes my heart happy just to look at them. Pictured below are the knitting needle version, of which they offer a mosaic wood version of the crochet hooks as well. I just love them. They also offer a padded handle set. I have a wooden set (although not the mosaic one…bummer…they didn’t offer that when I bought mine) and I have the padded set and I love both of them.
I also have a cute little set from Amazon that I love too. You can buy this one fairly inexpensively and it comes with some tools and notions that will be helpful too. Several buying options to choose from and I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. 🙂 I don’t have the light up set pictured below but I think that looks kind of awesome and I may have to get one and try it out. I love that it’s rechargeable!
Still Need Help?
If you currently don’t know how to crochet, I’d be happy to stitch this set up for you, just send me a message to custom order. Or…. I highly recommend learning how to crochet yourself! Check out the sites below for a few options for online learning. You can try either of these sites out for free to see if you like them before continuing a membership. They are great resources for learning to crochet at your own pace.
That should be about all you need if you want to try this one out. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help.
Happy Stitching!
