Valley Legwarmers

Your legs will be kept warm while you’re out and about when you’re wearing a pair of Valley Legwarmers!

Use them for exercise, to accessorize your casual outfits, or simply wear them around the house as an extra layer.

Adjust to fit almost any person in your family by simply adding or removing stitches.

There is a rib-cuff both top and bottom to help with the fit (and keeping them exactly where you want them to be). Earlier versions (shown) did not have the top cuff, and ended up simply falling down.

Apart from the ribbing, you’ll be using basic stitches - great to work on while watching Netflix!

I recommend working the two pieces in tandem, so that any adjustments you need to make can easily be replicated.

Yarn:
I’ve used wool-blend yarn to make my samples, but most winter yarns would work well.
Cotton/blend or acrylic yarns could work well for the rest of the year.

Create in 2-tone as shown, or use a single yarn (instructions included for both options). Would look amazing in a multi-colored cake or variegated yarn, too.

Special Stitches/Techniques:

Chainless Starting stitches
Foundation stitches
Post stitches

~ Available in both US and UK terminology - both downloads included
~ Intermediate Level (post stitches are essential to the pattern)
