I designed these legwarmers to fit my large calves. Most legwarmer patterns (or tall boots for that matter) don’t fit me and I figured I am probably not alone in this issue.

And of course what a difference legwarmers make on a really cold winter day! I highly recommend knitting up a couple of pairs if you live in a colder climate. It makes SUCH a difference.

Finished measurements:
Opening circumferences measure approximately 12” unstretched and up to approximately 18” stretched.

Yarn Used:
A: Swan’s Island All American Collection, Sport weight (color: Cloud), 185 yds, 40g (2 skeins)
B: Swan’s Island Natural Colors, Fingering
(color: Charcoal), 525 yds, 100g (1 skein)

Pattern is knit holding 3 strands of yarn together - 1 strand of yarn A and 2 strands of yarn B. You could also knit this with 1 yarn that gives you the same gauge.
