This is an easy pattern for bulky leg warmers, knitted flat and then seamed up the side. It is written with the beginner knitter in mind, and should be a fun and quick project for your first leg warmers. I designed them to fit a teen/petite adult without slouching or sagging. For reference, my calves are ~14” around at the widest point and these leg warmers fit me perfectly!

Pictures on the left are of the finished product, as well as what this yarn looks like on a US size 15 needle. I added this picture since bulky yarns can vary quite a bit in their actual thickness, this picture will hopefully help you determine how comparable your yarn is to the one I used.

What you will need:

  • 150-180 yards of your favorite bulky yarn
  • US size 15 needles (or size to obtain gauge)
  • Darning needle
