Northern Legwarmers
Keep Warm in Style!
The Northern Legwarmers are inspired by Nordic winter vibes combined with the big trend of the 1980s: legwarmers.
Perfect for cold days, wear them under wide trousers or over tights and leggings for a cozy, retro look.
They can be knitted in Önling No 1, a super-soft merino and angora blend, or Önling No 3, organic merino.
A quick and cozy project featuring a fun two-color pattern.
