Fashionable knitted leggings have long ceased to be clothesfor sports and are an indispensable accessory that is worn over boots and ankle boots. You probably met openwork or relief models, replacing the classic monophonic and striped leggings. Knit their needles by one simple scheme, it is enough to understand the principle itself. The most suitable yarn for work will be a half-woolen yarn of 260 to 360 meters in length to a skein of 100 grams.
In the first case, we knit leggings with knitting needles for fitness. They differ conservative, more fitting form, which does not interfere with intensive movements and does not bind them.
For work we will need stocking knitting needles No. 3, 5 and 150 grams of yarn "Merino Deluxe". If you have the remainder of a string of the appropriate thickness, you can make the striped leg warmers.
We type on the spokes 60 loops and distribute them to 4 spokes. We knit an elastic band 3x2 with a height of 40 cm, then we close the loops freely, without tightening the edge. The finished product can be dampened and slightly pulled out.
Leggings over the shoes are more loose. They can be decorated with a cord with pompons or brushes. Very stylish look models from the yarn of yarn manufacturer "Yarn Art", they are good without add-ons.
To connect variegated leggings with knitting needles, it is advisable to buy two skeins of thread and start work from the colorings of the same color, then the products will surely turn out to be the same.
On the stocking knitting needles No. 4 we collect 68 loops and knitround gum: 1 facial, 3 purl loops, 12 cm high. Then go to the spokes of a smaller number and continue to work the facial smoothness. When the product reaches a length of 40 cm, we again knit an elastic band - this time 3 eye loops and 1 purl. The total length of the gaiters should be 50 cm for the fifth height. You can adjust it at your own discretion due to stocking. Unscrew the upper edge, bound with an elastic band, and your leggings are ready with knitting needles!
Slender long legs will decorate high woolenleggings of yarn "Charisma". Their highlight is the alternation of gum and a simple Irish braid, crossed in every sixth row. We knit leggings with knitting needles №3. A report of two purlins, two facial, two purl loops and a braid of 4 loops is repeated 12 times in a row. After completing this 15 cm, go to stocking. Eight loops with a scythe we sew according to the drawing, in the other braids we knit two loops together (on the spokes 98 loops). In order for the leggings to cling to the leg, in each fourth row we subtract two face loops on the right and left of the braid until there are 68 loops left. After 50 cm we switch to an elastic band 2x2, we knit another 10 centimeters. In the last row, close the loops freely, without tightening. The length and width of the product may vary by one report depending on the size.
At first glance, such simple in execution,gaiters can look very original and even extravagant. Here, additions from natural fur and cords of contrasting color, thin ribbons stretched to the edge, will be appropriate. Even if you connect the leggings with knitting needles, you can tie the upper and lower edges with a crochet with festoons or an openwork pattern. Addition to modern cardigans and fur coats with short sleeves will become fashionable in this season hand leggings.
