1. Open the Crafting Menu
First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make Iron Leggings
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make iron leggings, place 7 iron ingots in the 3x3 crafting grid.
When making iron leggings, it is important that the iron ingots are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 iron ingots. In the second row, there should be 2 iron ingots at either sides (the middle box should be left empty). In the third row, there should be 2 iron ingots at either sides (the middle box should be left empty). This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for iron leggings.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the iron leggings will appear in the box to the right.
