This pattern features the chain stripes stitch pattern that creates a fabric with raised slip-stitch color work, offering a sculptural alternative to traditional stripes. Knit in the round with three needle sizes results in a garment that hugs the shape of the leg while maintaining stitch count. Two different rib patterns add visual interest as well as function. Since the ankle is smooth and the upper calf is stretchy, these leg warmers can be worn with flats or boots. This design includes 3 colors: 200 yards for background, 70 yards for contrast color, and 60 yards for a second contrast color. Total yards: 330 yards of worsted weight. Dimension: 15” long, 12” calf circumference.
