Notions: Fine elastic thread, tapestry needle

Notes: These legwarmers are worked inside out so that the majority of the stitches are knit instead of purl – ultimately the legwarmers are reversible and can be worn with either texture of the Broken Rib showing.
The fine elastic thread and yarn are held together whilst working the band of ribbing at the top of the leg. Hold the elastic taught as you knit it. Using the elastic is highly recommended but not necessary.
