  1. Dial the initial 52 loops.
  2. Equally distribute them on three (or, if you want, four) spokes.
  3. Close the circle and start knitting the first row.
  4. It is knitted with an ordinary rubber band 2x2 (this means that the two purl loops alternate with the two face loops, and so throughout the entire series).
  5. In this way, tie 15 rows.
  6. The main decoration of our gaiters will be a pattern made as follows. On the middle knitting needle, move 26 loops, and distribute the rest equally between two extreme spokes (13 each).
  7. 1 a number of patterns fit like this: 10 facial, 6 purl and again 10 facial.
  8. 2 and all even rows are knitted strictly according to the pattern, and the nakids are tied with facial.
  9. 3 row: 6 facial, 3 loops knit like one facial behind the front wall, nakid, facial, again cape, 6 purl, cape, facial, cape, 3 loops along the rear wall and 6 facial.
  10. This pattern is knitted exclusively on the middle spoke, and the loops on the other two are tied with a rubber band 2x2. Thanks to this, your leggings will stay on your leg well.
  11. The photo shows how the front hinges are tied behind the front wall.
  12. And likewise - facial loops behind the back wall.
  13. Odd rows from 5 to 11 are tied in the same way as the 3rd row, with some exceptions. The number of extreme loops with each row decreases by one (from 5 to 2), and the number of facial loops in the middle of the row, on the contrary, increases. Due to this displacement, an openwork pattern is obtained. At the expense of nakids and loops knit together, their total number on the spokes remains the same, which means that the width of future gaiters does not change either.
  14. Alternating the pattern from the 3rd to the 12th row, we knit gaiters to the desired length. Then we continue knitting with an elastic band 2x2.
  15. In this way, 8 rows should be linked, and in the 9th row, close all the loops, as usual, with the front ones.

  18. Then turn the knitting and close all the loops, this time with the wrong loops.
  19. As a result of this simple manipulation, you will get a narrow long string, knitted with knitting needles.
  20. Fold it with an accordion, forming the petals of the future flower. It is desirable that they have an odd number.
  21. Now the inner corners of the petals need to be joined (sewed or fastened with the same knitting thread). You can use a hook or a regular needle to do this.
  22. The result is a nice little flower. Prepare as many flowers as you need to decorate your gaiters, but keep in mind that there should not be too many of them.
