NEW LEG WARMERS PATTERN - FREE:
Knitting during the Christmas holiday...I designed a pair of leg warmers for my dear friend Kerry. She wears tall boots, tights and shorter wool skirts all winter long and I think these will help to keep her legs toasty whilest she navigates the NYC streets to work!

Her birthday is in a few weeks -- but I hope to get them to her next week before I head back to Asia!

When I pulled out the finished one to show my sister-in-law yesterday, my niece said "SOCK!" She loves socks and insisted on trying it on! She looked perplexed that there was no foot to this sock! :-)

Since it's double knitting weight and I am using size 8 needles (rather than the reccomended size 5 or 6), I'm knitting with 2 strands together (see top photo.)

The top cuff can be folded down (as in photo) or up if you need extra length!
