Announcing Newest Kristin Pattern & Video Tutorial!

Kristin's latest pattern is the Fer Sure Legwarmers Crochet Pattern. As an 80’s child, not only did I wear legwarmers, but my vision and inspiration for this design was the video for ZZTop’s “Legs” with the cute girls dancing around in mini skirts, heels and ruffled angle socks. Ok, so there’s a little Flashdance inspiration in there, too. Add a little spunk to your step in these super easy and quick crochet legwarmers! Learn a coulple new stitches for a stretchy edge without a starting chain! Make them in colors to accent your wardrobe. 

Pattern is available for immediate download for $3.99 HERE: Fer Sure Legwarmers Crochet Pattern 

Pattern features Drew Emborsky's The Crochet Dude Sarcastic Yarn

Video tutorial features Rosewood Crochet Hooks by Lantern Moon

It is a super easy and quick pattern that uses foundation stitches. Here is my YouTube tutorial video on how to make a foundation single crochet and foundation double crochet:
