Rich texture with a little openwork sets a distinctive tone for warm legwear in two sizes (S/L). This eye-catching design looks great as a short topper for shoes and boots, while the long option is a stylish accessory with tights or skinny jeans. The ribbed finish may be worked short and flat or long enough to be doubled for extra warmth.

Worked in the round and in an intermediate stitch pattern, this project is an excellent choice for a first attempt at openwork; it is also portable and easily memorized for knitters on the go. In any version, this design works up beautifully in a naturally squishy, airy fiber—the perfect thing for a single skein of specialty farm yarn.

Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size, elasticity, or yardage requirement.
