PATTERN: This DD has tiny ankles and long legs, she is 5’ 9”. Based loosely on a rustic design in the Sundance Holiday 2013 Catalog, called Solstice Legwarmers (see last pic). They were no longer shown on the website when I wanted to order them. Denver, Colorado had a huge and unseasonable drop in temperature, to highs in the 9F range in the daytime. My daughter wanted something to cover the exposed area of her jeans, between the top of the Uggh boots and her down coat.
Update 2 Jan 2019: DD#2 stopped by the other day wearing these. They looked great, and are still going strong… AND she requested another pair!

I loved the look of the Sundance design (pic 6). They used multicolor sections and several stitch patterns, I simplified by using a main yarn with long color runs and adding ribbed areas along with the purl and knit sections. The brown cuffs were to provide more stretch and staying up power - the Noro has none - and to coordinate with her brown coat. One could easily sub a patterned sock yarn, alternating with a worsted weight, or use handspun.

I used dpn’s and knit, alternately, on both leg warmers, so they finished within a few minutes of each other.

One leg used a little more than one ball of Silk Garden, if one makes a shorter leg version one ball for each leg should do it.

This is an easy project and it would be fun to mix yarns and stitch patterns. Good stash buster, or for left over yarn bits. Great for handspun yarn, or a mixture.
