Vintage French Leg Warmers – Crochet Pattern + Giveaway
A dream I’ve had since I was a little girl is to one day travel to Paris and explore the magnificent city… I’m not sure if this fascination with France comes from my obsession about the tv show “Madeline” which I watched every day when I was a child, or if it’s the elegant fashion, the intricate architecture and the beautiful French countryside that draws me to Paris.
Either way, I really enjoyed designing these leg warmers (which were actually featured in I Like Crochets issue!), which I knew I just had to add the pattern to my Etsy and Craftsy Shops!

We have a new grandbaby; born June 16. So I'm crocheting a baby blanket that I will be posting on Love Crochet soon. These leg warmers are gorgeous!!
I adore your patterns! They are always so pristinely done and so lady-like, dainty! Remind me of growing up in the deep south. Wearing dresses, hats and gloves to church. Even when I was a tomboy the rest of the time, I was so charmed by being a girl on Sundays! Your patterns take me right back to that sense of charm and "Yes, I AM a girl!" Haha! Thank you for the opportunities you afford your followers for the giveaways!
