Materials

Worsted weight yarn (less than one skein of 380 yards)
4 mm hook (for calf cuff)
4.5 mm hook (for body and ankle cuff)
Scissors, darning needle, decorative buttons (optional)

The Calf Cuff (Ribbing)

Using the 4 mm hook, make a slip knot and chain 12.
Row 1: Turn and single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook and each chain across (11 sc).
Chain 1, turn.
Rows 2–36: Work the first and last stitches through both loops, and all middle stitches in back loop only.
Chain 1 and turn after each row.

The Body (Tilted Granny Stitch)

Switch to the 4.5 mm hook and work along the long edge of the ribbing (36 stitches).
Row 1: Chain 3 (counts as dc).
Skip next stitch and work a double crochet plus tilted granny stitch (TGS) into the following stitch.
Repeat across and end with one dc in the last stitch.
Rows 2–8: Chain 3, turn, skip the first stitch, and work dc + TGS across the row.
End with dc in turning chain. Continue until 8 rows are complete.

The Boot or Ankle Cuff (Ribbing)

Still using the 4.5 mm hook, chain 12.
Row 1: Turn and single crochet in the 2nd back bump from hook and in each back bump to end (11 sc).
Attach the cuff perpendicularly by slip stitching into the next 2 stitches of the body.
Row 2: Turn, work a full sc in the first and last stitch, and back loop only sc in between.
Row 3: Chain 1, turn, repeat the previous row.
Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3, slip stitching into the next 2 body stitches each time, until the cuff is worked around the body.
For the final attachment, slip stitch into one stitch at the top, finish the row, chain 1, and leave a long tail for sewing.

Seaming and Finishing

Fold the piece to form a tube.
Seam the ankle cuff using back loop to back loop stitching to preserve ribbing texture.
Seam the body up the leg warmer using whipstitch or preferred seaming method.
Seam the calf cuff using back loop to back loop stitching.
Weave in all yarn ends neatly and sew on decorative buttons if desired.
