FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Length: 24.5 inches
Calf circumference: 11.5 13, 14.5 inches

PATTERN NOTES
The pattern gives instructions for making leg warmers with a strap under the foot. The leg warmers are worked “foot-up”. If you prefer, you can omit the strap and start with a ribbing. Or you could make stockings, using a toe-up sock pattern for similar gauge.

Legwarmers shown are worn with 1 inch of negative ease around calf and thigh.

Length can easily be adjusted by working more or less rounds of cable pattern.

Pattern gives instructions for working cables with and without cable needle. Cable pattern is presented both in text and chart.
