Pixie Pebble Leg Warmers- Crochet Pattern

Hi loves! I am Eleanor Jane, The Crochet Faerie, a music and fantasy-inspired crochet pattern designer.

As of this moment, I am really digging bright, vivid, sassy color schemes and a whole lot of texture. I’d been wanting to bring the ultimate pixie vibes to my pebble stitch pattern collection, and Carron Chunky Cakes in Rainbow Jellys was the perfect yarn to achieve this goal <3

What is so great about this design, and really the entire Pixie Pebble collection is not only how fun the texture is, but also how easy it is to follow along. It’s crucial for beginners and people who struggle with brain fog and other cognitive function issues (which I often suffer from due to mycotoxin illness & Lyme disease) to have access to patterns that meet their skill level AND their style.

I may have designed this pattern, but I truly hope you have fun while making it your own. Self-expression is essential to healing & happiness, and this is your life… So go! Crochet this piece, in whatever color makes your heart full, and own it <3

Below are the instructions for you to fashion your own piece. If you would like a version of the pattern with photo guidelines or would like to check out my other patterns, visit my shop:

I truly hope you have as much fun creating this as I did design it! Seeing you magical beings express yourselves through my designs fills my heart in the most lovely sort of way. Thank you for accepting and spreading the love I put into my work.<3

When working the body of your project, the RS should always be a SC row

HINT: You can actually use any yarn from worsted to super bulky thanks to the made to measure instructions of this pattern! <3

Process: Leg warmers are created by working in circular rows until reaching the required length, Lastly, ribbing is added all around the top border.

 

Main Body:

Row 1: Ch a multiple of 4 to LOOSELY fit your calf circumference, Sl St into the 1st Ch to make a circle, Ch 1

Row 2: SC in each St across, Sl St in 1st SC from beginning of row, Ch 1

Row 3: *SC in next 3 Sts, PBS in next St** repeat from * to ** across, Sl St in 1st SC from beginning of row, Ch 1

Row 4: SC in each St across, Sl St in 1st SC from beginning of row, Ch 2

Row 5: DC in each St across, Sl St in 2nd Ch of Ch 2 from beginning of row, Ch 1

Row 6: Repeat Row 2

Row 8: Repeat Row 4

Repeat rows 5 – 8 (following the pattern of DC row, SC row, PBS row, SC row) until your piece is 14″ – 16″ long 🙂 Do NOT cut yarn, proceed to make your Ribbed Border.

 

Ribbed Border:

Step 1: Ch 13

Step 2: SC in each Ch (12 Sts total), Sl St into the next 3 stitches of the base of your leg warmer, do NOT Ch 1

Step 3: Skip the 3 Sl Sts from the previous row, BloSC across the SC Sts from row 2 (12 Sts total), Ch 1

Step 4: BloSC in each St across the ribbing (12 BloSC total), Sl St in next 3 SC of border, do NOT Ch 1

Repeat steps 3 – 4 until you’ve worked around the entire border and have reached your initial row from Step 1

Finish your leg warmer by sewing both ribbing ends together and weaving in any loose ends. Repeat the entire pattern to create a matching pair <3

I really hope this pattern was easy to follow along, but if you need instructional photographs, you can find a more detailed, step-by-step, beginner-friendly version of this pattern (and all of my other designs) in my shop TheCrochetFaerie.com

Until our next artistic adventure 🙂

Love,

Eleanor Jane <3
