We knit fashionable leggings with knitting needles

Fashionable knitted leggings have long ceased to be clothes for sports and are an indispensable accessory 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 thread 260 to 360 meters in length to a 100 gram skein.

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 rest of the thread 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 close the loops freely, without contracting the edge. The finished product can be wetted 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 additions.

To connect the 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.

We take 68 loops on the stocking pins number 4 and knit a rubber band around them: 1 front, 3 purl loops, 12 cm high. Then go to the spokes of the smaller number and continue working with 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 on your own at the expense of hosiery. Unscrew the upper edge, bound with an elastic band, and your leggings are ready with knitting needles!

Slender long legs will be decorated with high woolen leggings from the yarn of "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, we move on stocking. Eight loops with a braid are tied according to a 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 go to the rubber band 2x2, 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, these simple to wear 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, the upper and lower edges can be tied with a crochet of festoons or an openwork pattern. Addition to modern cardigans and fur coats with short sleeves will become fashionable in this season hand leggings.
