Adelaide Leg Warmers
The finished legwarmers have an all-over cabled design, perfect for keeping bare legs cool in the Fall/ Winter/ Spring seasons. The non-bulky design and use of lace weight yarn allows for items to fit over tights and inside of boots. Due to the amount of stretch, these leg warmers can fit most sizes 12 months up to 6y. Once knitted, these leggings are a perfect three-season accessory.
Pattern includes: comprehensive charts, detailed written instructions, suggestions, and color photos.
This pattern is a perfect option for any knitter who knows some intermediate techniques of knitting, such as simple cables and knitting in the round. These leg warmers are knitted with lace-weight yarn, which allows for more detail on a smaller surface. The pattern is very easy and simple to follow. No prior experience needed of making Leg warmers since this pattern gives detailed, step-by-step instructions. You will need a PDF viewer installed on your computer to download the file.
