Northward -legwarmers are all over colourwork, but they look way more complex than they actually are. They use three colours, but you only work two colours at a time. The pattern repeat is divisible by 4, so there is no long floats to catch. Due to small repeats the size is also easily adjusted. Northward would be a great project for a fairly new colourwork knitter, too!
