Vilnīši, ripples in the water and sand on the beach. Latvia has a very long coastline on the Balc Sea. In the Gulf of Rīga the water is brown, like tea because of tannins from the moors. The Balc Sea is more of a green gold. Where the two waters meet at Cape Kolka you can see the stark difference. Here you can also watch the sunrise and later the sunset over the sea. Just don’t go for a swim as the rip des are intense and unpredictable. Did you know that Latvian women are the tallest women in the world? That said, what is short for us may be extra tall for you. So if these leg warmers come up to our knees in the photo they may fit half way up your thighs. Seriously.

instructions for petite, regular and tall in sizes XS/S/M, M/L, XL/2X. The pattern is designed to use one entire skein of Urth Fingering weight yarn. If you are knitting in the larger sizes, you may want to add a skein to get a thigh high leg warmer.

Urth Uneek striped fingering weight yarns are just magic in this pattern. Urth Monochrome fingering weight gives a more subtle look.
