Leg warmers with stirrups make dog walks in your skinny jeans so much more comfortable and stylish! Your boots will still fit and your legs will be warm, all the way down to your ankles. Worked in brioche stitch to be super stretchy and eliminate the need for leg shaping.

This is a great first Brioche Stitch project. Worked from the stirrup up and seamless. Sized for a medium calf in skinny jeans. Easily resized by increasing or decreasing stitch count and/or gauge.

Gauge is notoriously difficult to measure in brioche, so is given in stockinette.

Pattern includes detailed instructions for a stretchy bind off that may be new to many. The Italian bind off is worked using Kitchener stitch techniques.
