Found over on Mrs Greens Info Be sure to check out all the great tutorials on this site.
We have made these but out of old jeans with the zipper in the front.This is a crocheted version and very cute.
The example shown was crocheted using sport weight yarn and a size F hook. Finished size will vary based on yarn selection, hook size, and tension. This pattern is written for making the right spat. To change the pattern for the left foot, work R10 in back loops only instead of front.
R1: With color A, Ch 57, turn.
R2: Starting in 3rd ch from hook, dc 55, ch 2, turn.
R3: Dc 55, ch 2, turn.
R4: Dc 3; ch 2, sk next 2 st; dc 50, ch 2, turn.
R5: *Dc 4, dc 2 in next st* repeat 10 times; dc 2 in ch sp, dc 3, ch 2, turn.
R6-7: Dc 65, ch 2, turn.
R8: Dc 3; ch 2, sk next 2 st; dc 60, ch 2, turn.
R9: *Dc 5, dc 2 in next st* repeat 10 times; dc 2 in ch sp, dc 3, ch 2, turn.
R10: Working in front loops only, dc 75, ch 2, turn.
R11: Dc 75, ch 2, turn.
R12: Dc 2 in each st across (150 st), ch 2, turn.
R13: Dc 2 in each st across (300 st). Fasten off and change to color B.
R14: Sl st into last st of previous row, ch 1, hdc 299. Fasten off and change to color A.
R15: Sl st into the end of R9, working in the open stitches left alongside R10; ch 2, dc 74, ch 2, turn.
R16: Dc 75, ch 2, turn.
R17: *Dc 6, dc 2 in next st* repeat 10 times, dc 5, ch 2, turn.
R18-19: Dc 85, ch 2, turn.
R20: Dc 2 in each st across (170 st), ch 2, turn.
R21: Dc 2 in each st across (340 st). Fasten off and change to color B.
