Sylva Legwarmers
The sample is knit with 5 DPN`s and circular 40 cm. You start with ribbed knitting and Latvian braid, then you work stranded color work and a second Latvian braid. Then you work stranded color work and at the same time increases for the leg. The legwarmer is finished with a “cuff” with Latvian braids and color work. The cuff is then joined to the leg and finished with 4 rounds ribbed knitting.
Size! You can adjust the size with changing the gauge either by changing the needle size or choosing a yarn that is thicker or thinner to give you the gauge and size you like.
Length! If you want leg warmers a little shorter than described, you can stop when all the increases are finished. (Chart 3 and chart 5 round 38).
