The Warmest Camo Tights -free crochet pattern-
I wrote this pattern a few years ago, and it has proved to be one of my most popular! I think this may be due to:
#1: It's free
#2: It's easy
#3: It's quick
#4: crochet pant patterns for adults are almost impossible to come by
I am revisiting this pattern, because I am moving it from it's old web locations:)
It has been posted as a free pattern on Ravelry, and I love going back and seeing how fellow crocheters have made out! Go check out their projects!

So here it is again! Enjoy!

Oh wow, thank you for the awesome pattern! I always wanted crochet leggins. :)
ReplyDeleteCould you please offer some kind of sizing info? Either measurements or dress size equivalence or something would be great.
ReplyDeletePant Size: Small- 4-6; Medium- 8-10; Large-12-14. There is a variance due to stretch, they are very stretchy.
DeleteThank you for this pattern going to make a few pairs for my daughter and mysee

ReplyDeletehi, how are you?
ReplyDeletefirst of all this is awsome thank you very much for this pattern.
I do want to ask about the waist band. i didn't understand how it's done. do you know a video tutrial that show's this technick?
thanks...
Do you think to size up just use larger hook or do you have a suggestion?
ReplyDeleteI'm really struggling with this pattern because it's coming out far to large and wide... Should the hook size be smaller? 6mm seems far too large for such a tight knit.
ReplyDeleteAre we supposed to Attatched he seems Horizontally or Vertically? I'm at Row 12 and need help.
