These cozy legwarmers are made up entirely of knits and purls – perfect for a beginner or someone looking to read a chart for the first time (written instructions are also included).

They are slightly tapered for a better fit and feature an optional fold-down cuff at the top for extra grip while you’re moving.

These simple yet textured legwarmers are made with a worsted weight or Aran yarn. They are constructed from the top-down in one piece. The pattern comes in three sizes.
