Welcome to my new series of hand knit projects! Look for the ‘♥’ as this signifies it is a World Central Kitchen pattern. The purchase of any ♥ pattern means half of your purchase goes towards emergency food and solutions to growing stronger communities and economies.

This is a pattern for a pair of leg warmers, worked from the bottom up and in the round, using the Fair-Isle knitting technique.

Sizing per age is approx.; please, use the circumference for best fit. If you want to adjust, lengthen or shorten through motif repeats, for desired length.
