Leg warmers using 8 ply yarn

Details

I originally created this pattern, during the Covid Pandemic Lockdown, for my sister in law, in her favourite colours. Since then I’ve revised the pattern and created some leg warmers in different colours. This is a great way to practice your new knitting skills, such as changing needles, changing stitches and colours. 8 ply yarn leftovers from other projects could easily be used with this pattern.

This leg warmer pattern has joined my collection of “Learn to knit patterns”. It is suitable for a new knitter who has mastered basic rib and stocking stitch. It’s important to cast off loosely so that the leg warmer will fit your leg. Each of the leg warmers will need to be sewn together.
