MATERIALS

  • 4 total skeins of Koigu’s Kersti, 100% Merino Wool. You will need 3 skeins of the Main Yarn (I used #0000) and 1 skein of the Contrast Color (these colors, from the left, are: #2100, #2229, and #2130). Approximately 456 yards required.
  • A US 5 (3.75 mm), 12 inch circular needle
  • A US 6 (4 mm), 12 inch circular needle

GAUGE
25 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

SIZE
One size fits many

Finished Dimensions: 16¼ inches long x 12 inches circumference, stretching to approximately 18 inches

NOTE: To adjust the sizing, just cast on any multiple of four stitches. For example, for smaller sizes you would cast on 64, 68, or 72 stitches and for bigger sizes, 80, 84, or 88 stitches. (For much bigger sizes you may want to purchase one extra skein of the Main Yarn, unless you plan to make your leg warmers shorter than 16¼ inches.)
