“I remember as a “tween” getting so excited when I received my very first pair of legwarmers. I loved them and wore them so much they fell apart. And then, the era ended. Legwarmers were gone.

Then, this year, they re-appeared! Like a pair of mittens for your ankle, they showed up and I couldn’t resist. I had to make my own pair of beautifully striped, fun legwarmers to pull down over my boots and keep my calves and ankles warm in the frigid winter.

Created to take into account the athletic calves of hikers and skiers, these legwarmers use up every bit of your skein of Cascade Souk (since I am a very frugal knitter). For longer legs or wider calves, you’ll want to pick up an extra skein.“
