THANK U IKOXUN FOR YET AGAIN FEEDING MY LEG WARMER OBESSION 😭🙏🏾

[shannonsscraps]

Your explanation of knitting almost made this old crocheter consider learning. So thorough and it showed things I would have felt stupid asking. If I decide to learn knitting, this video will be the first one I seek out.

[Morphwastaken]

I love seeing the more obscure fashion items in crochet, I feel like everyone has seen a million different sweaters, cardigans, and tops but bottoms and accessories are my favorite, especially from you! (Bottoms tutorial part 2?)

[-ladyofstars-]

Omg all the leg warmers look amazing especially the hello Kitty one 🥺 your amazing queen don't forget it an inspiration to us all 👑

[sleeping_beauty]

I LITERALLY JUST HAD TROUBLE WITH MY LEG WARMERS AND I SEE THIS. PERFECT TIMING

[ImNotActuallySonicTheHedgehog]

I made a pair of leg warmers using this, I added a few extra details to make it funky fresh and now I have a beautiful pair of leg warmers that always get compliments 😻🙏

[clownfern]

I've already knit plenty of basic ribbed leg warmers, but I've only used double pointed needles, so these will be interesting to try!

[g-i-n-ac]

All these are sooo cute, but I'm honestly most impressed that you finished SIX PAIRS of leg warmers?!! Lol I can barely motivate myself to finish one project, and it's crazy how many of these you made it's honestly inspiring! I'm a crocheter learning how to knit, and I think I'm going to try a solid colored version of your Hello Kitty legwarmers, they're so cute i can't wait until I can wear them! Ty for the detailed tutorials!!

[nathalielvr]

i was so hesitant on making leg warmers but this just convinced me !! <3 im finishing up my first pair tysm for this tut 🫶

[maeo]

Ur a life saver! I've been attempting to make a pair for myself. First I tried crocheting but it takes too long and needs a whole bunch of yarn. Then I ventured to knitting (I was convinced when I saw you doing it and it looked easier). The cast on I did turns out to be too wide. I couldn't reduce the number of cast on because it's what my circular needle allows without me struggling to make them meet. I didn't realized that the circular knitting needle I purchase was too long but also too short to do the magic circle. Now I'm doing the two circular needles method which I've been procrastinating on. This video is motivation I need to continue on this silly little journey of creating my dream leg warmers. Thank you!

[savnoel]

just recently started crocheting and i’m obsessed already i cant wait to make some of these

[michelledelgado]

DYING TO MAKE THESE!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!!

[starsfelle]

I love your video so much I swear you do some of the best crochet videos on youtube!

[Soannio]

I recommend looking up how to do a butterfly bobbin if you do intarsia! It keeps your multiple strings from getting mixed up with each other and keeps your yarn from rolling away and/or coming unraveled! It’s super easy and was a game changer for me

[janiyahl.]

My friend wanted leg warmers for her birthday on Feb. 3… you are the biggest help when it comes to knitting tysm

[cloudedcrochet]

I would pay sm money for the brown leg warmers. They are so cute and I'm obsessed ❤

[Strawberry_]

This IS the ultimate guide! I love this video so much and i will Definitely be coming back to watch this if i need to! I crochet but i started with knitting and sorta gave up bc it was difficult. You explain it so well and make it understandable! Thank you so much for your hard work! I will definitely be recommending this to my friends

[hafsah]
