Traveling Stitch Legwarmers Pattern
by Lisa R. Myers
Directions for this project in Knit So Fine, shown below. These legwarmers more closely resemble close-fitting leggings than the slouchy legwarmers of the 1980s. They hug the leg from the cuff to the thigh in an elaborate traveling-stitch pattern that comes from traditional Austrian knee socks. The calves are shaped with increases and decreases hidden in a lozenge-shaped motif. Warmer and more comfortable than tights, you'll want to pull these on with your favorite skirt in the cooler months. Shown in Gloss Cosmos.- Needles:
