These legwarmers are worked bottom up, and have some shaping incorporated for those of us with a noticeable difference between calf measurement and ankle measurement. If your calves are not pronounced you can safely leave out some or all of the increases, but do try them on as you go.

Sizing as written will fit 9” ankle & 15” calf comfortably. If you’d like to alter for different sizes but keep the same pattern repeats, you should cast on stitches in a number divisible by 4 and 6.

This pattern uses mostly knits and purls, elongated stitches, and kfb for calf increases.
