Legwarmers aren’t just for ballerinas (or the 1980’s) anymore! These fun, spat-like leg warmers are a great chance to go scouting for some vintage buttons.

Due to the very stretchy nature of ribbing, this legwarmer can fit a wide variety of leg circumferences. As written, these will fit leg circumferences 12-16” (30-41 cm). If your calf circumference is significantly smaller or larger, you can add or subtract stitches to the cast on number in multiples of 4.

Skills Used:
Yarn over increases
P2tog decreases

Notions:
14 buttons (approx. 1/2”)
Locking stitch markers (optional)

Shown in colorway “Lilac.”
