These heavy legwarmers are knitted up in two-color Fisherman’s Rib. The stitch provides a bulky stripy look and is very soft and stretchy. The double-layer nature of the stitch also makes the piece a perfect winter garment. This can be a leftover-yarn project, so try out different color combinations and have fun!
