Step-by-Step Instructions

Measure your calf up to where you want it to reach

Measure the length of the leg warmers based on how long you want it

Measure how flared you'd like your leg warmers, although it also works to just wing it!

Use this format to template your leg warmers! The top must be the calf measurement, the length is how long you'd like them, and the bottom measurement is the flared aspect of it. I always like to add at least an extra inch to make sure I account for sewing in edges!

Sketch onto your scrap fabric

Sew in the edges of the top and bottom

Turn inside out and sew along the side to create a seam

Turn inside out and BAM LEG WARMERS :)
