Recommend ease varies depending on the Cabled vs Plain options. The Cabled Leg Warmers tend to look more bulky due to the textured fabric, even though the warmers are the same circumference as the Plain ones so I’ve amended the ease to account for this.

Plain Leg Warmers: 0-6 cm / 0-2.25” of positive ease

Cabled Leg Warmers: 3 cm / 1.25” of negative ease to 3 cm / 1.25” of positive ease

Meterage / Yardage
Plain: 560 (640, 720) (800, 880) metres / 611 (700, 786) (875, 960) yards
Cabled: 726 (830, 935) (1038, 1140) / 795 (908, 1020) (1135, 1248) yards

They use a lot of yarn due to the generous length for lots of slouch but, if desired, you can reduce the amount used by shortening the Leg Warmers and having less fabric at the ankle.
