The easiest way to make legwarmers is to knit two rectangles and sew them into tubes.

You’ll need to learn how to cast on, the knit stitch, the purl stitch, binding off, seaming, and weaving in ends. There are free online videos to teach you all of these at

Here are some simple legwarmer patterns.

PS. An even easier way is to cut the sleeves off an old sweater!

There are free patterns on the Internet for legwarmers for almost every skill level of knitter. One excellent source for free knitting patterns is Knitting Pattern Central, which is an index of patterns. The links will take you to patterns on sites all over the web.
