Beautiful cables and blended ombre color make up these practical leg warmers. Thoughtful details make up the design: buttons at the cuffs to allow the warmers to fit over shoes and boots, color blending built into the pattern. There are also no increase stitches, as the cables strategically unfold through the pattern to allow the warmers to grow at the top. These are a fun and relatively easy knitting project, and the finished product will keep your legs warm all winter long in style. One size fits many. Finished measurements, when laid flat:

Finished Measurements (after blocking):
19” in total length, measured from top to bottom hem, stretchy
9” circumference at bottom edge when buttoned, un-stretched
11” circumference at top edge, un-stretched

These leg warmers are very stretchy and will easily accommodate different shapes and sizes - they are meant to conform to the legs.
