Pink legwarmers

After I decided to move to Wisconsin, I knew I’d need lots more legwarmers. I made these back in May, so I don’t remember all the details (and can’t find my notes).

I’m pretty sure I cast on 48 stitches and used a knit one, purl one rib knit. They’re made from Caron Simply Soft yarn and are long enough to go from the top of my foot to just below my knee, though I usually wear them slouched.

I made this pair bigger and looser so I could pull them up higher on my leg, but they’re actually a bit too big and loose, so I wind up pulling them up several times a day.

I still need several more pair of legwarmers, so I’m sure I’ll get the perfect pattern worked out eventually.
