Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “Nothing is more aggravating than getting your skates laced just right and then realizing you need to take them off again! That’s where the Easy Access Leg Warmers come in, whether it’s those pesky knee pads that slide on, cold legs that need covering, or hot legs that need some air. With buttons on the back, you no longer need to take your skates off to take your leg warmers on or off! Knit in an easy rib with no shaping (no increasing or decreasing needed), these leg warmers knit up just in time for some outdoor fall skating!”
