These leg warmers are knit with silk mohair and feature three adjustable drawstring cinches, allowing you to customize the fit and shape.
The pattern is worked seamlessly in the round, alternating sections of fluffy stockinette with stretchy ribbing. It includes several customization options, including instructions for a tighter fit, less body volume, shorter or longer lengths, a less flared lower edge, a larger circumference, and a lighter single-strand version.
Designed as a one-size pattern with plenty of stretch, the ribbing comfortably fits a wide range of leg sizes. The pattern also includes yarn substitution suggestions, gauge information, blocking instructions, and step-by-step directions for knitting and threading the drawstrings.
