Hyde Park Legwarmers & Boot Cuffs
Originally released in 6/10, this pattern got an upgrade in 2/15 to include a boot cuff modification, clearer instructions, and is now knit up in a currently available yarn.
A bold but surprisingly simple stained glass stitch created by using fingering weight variegated yarn and garter stitch worsted weight rounds make these legwarmers and boot cuffs a super fun way to dress up your legs. Whether you stick half of them in your favorite pair of boots or throw them over your leggings for a little extra warmth, you’ll instantly add color and style to any outfit.
Finished Measurements Length: Legwarmers are 15” and boot cuffs are 8”. Width: 12 (13 1/4, 14 1/2)“ through the body. Both legwarmers and boot cuffs shown in size small.
