Cosy legwarmers in stranded knitting with no need to catch floats!


The motif has no more than 3 stitches of the same color in a row, so the floats will never get too long. A few rows are not stranded knitting but mosaic: you only knit with one color, and use slip stitches to continue the motif.

The colorwork is my own creation, it is inspired from a motif that I thought was Art Nouveau, but it turns out to be much older, from the 1500s!

As this pattern is free, it has not been tested. If you find any mistakes, typos, or find the instructions unclear, you can reach out to me in the comment section and I will try to get back to you :)
