Well, snow came and stayed only for a bit, enough to get us out and go sledding with the girls. It was so much fun!!! I realized I need better snow boots. But now the temperature is not bad, in the 30's this week, which has caused all the snow to melt. Oh well, I won't miss it too much!! :)
These past weeks, I worked on this leg warmers for my sister-in-law. They really did not take me long to make. I am not very fond of the color, but they look nice. I tried to find a pattern for leg warmers, but I couldn't find what I wanted. You can start by casting 26 on an 11 size circular needle. If you have thicker calves you can cast on 46 instead. This is only for this kind of yarn. I used Homespun from Lion Brand.
The stitch is quite easy, just 4 rounds of knits and then 6 rounds of purls, then repeat to you get to the ribbing. They are soft and warm, which I didn't expect from acrylic yarn.
If you don't have boots, you can totally wear these over leggins, if you want to wear them over jeans, I will suggest casting more, otherwise they will be kind of tight. My next pair will be for the girls and I am using wool, to see how much warmer they are. So let me know if you make a pair, or if you need more instructions to make a pair. The pictures are not that wonderful because my 5 year old took them, but you can still appreciate them, right?. Thank you for reading and stay warm!!
