Chain Stripes Leg Warmers

Description

These leg warmers feature the chain stripes stitch pattern that creates a fabric with raised slip-stitch color work, offering a sculptural alternative to traditional stripes.  Knit in the round with three sizes of dpns, the garment hugs the shape of the leg while maintaining stitch count.  Two different rib patterns add visual interest as well as function.  Since the ankle is smooth and upper calf is stretchy, these let warmers can be worn with flats or boots.

Dimension:  approximately 15″ in length and 12″ calf circumference.

Yarn:  approximately 200 yards Color A (background) and 70 yards Color B (5 chain stripes) and 60 yards Color C (4 chain stripes) worsted weight.
