Dc Front/Back Post Leg warmers

K hook
Caron Simply Soft Traditions 100% acrylic worsted weight yarn (a thin, soft, 4-ply yarn)

These were worked in a round tube using rows and not a spiral with increases and decreases made in the back. Started working in little spaces of time on 9/14 and finished 9/15. Worked up very quick with K hook.

Directions:
K hook
Chain 24 and slip stitch join into ring.

Row 1: Chain 3 (counts as 1 Dc), then 23 Dc into "spine" of foundation row

Rows 2-13: (worked to point where calf starts to widen)
Chain 3 (counts as BpDc), *2FpDc, 2BpDc* (repeat) BpDc, sl st to join

Row 14: ch 3, *2FpDc, 2BpDc* (repeat) FpDc, BpDc(incr)

Rows 15-24: ch 3, *2FpDc, 2BpDc* (repeat) FpDc, BpDc, FpDc, sl st. (until reach 26 st in row)

Row 25: ch 3, *FpDc, BpDc* (repeat) FpDc Decr, BpDc, sl st
(Change rib pattern & start decrease where calf starts to narrow)

Rows 26-27: ch 3, *FpDc, BpDc* (repeat) FpDc Decr, sl st

Rows 28-30: ch 3, *FpDc, BpDc* (repeat) FpDc, sl st

Abbreviations:
ch = chain
st - stitch(es)
sl st = slip stitch
FpDc = Front post Dc (See 7/13/14 post)
BpDc = Back post Dc
Incr = increase
FpDc Dec = Front Post Decrease (you end up with 3 loops on hook, then draw through all 3 to finish)

Here are my pattern notes and a picture of the yarn label I used.

I will probably put an elastic through the BpDc to keep the leg warmers up when I walk. Sitting around they probably won't fall down but I rarely sit. A lot of times I crochet standing up.
