Cara’s Leg Warmers for Anyone!

Leg warmers are actually like sleeves with ribbing on both ends.

NOTE: We don't make leg warmers for sale, this is a pattern to knit your own.

.	Read directions down this column.	Your answers:
.	Make a swatch of the pattern for leggings. (Could be fair isle, ribs, plain knitting, etc.)
A	Put your stitch gauge here (stitches per inch).	.
B	Put your row gauge here (rows per inch).	.
C	Measure the ankle width (make sure heel will fit through).	.
D	Measure the calf (or the thigh) at the widest point.	.
E	Measure Length from ankle to top, for total length.	.
F	Now decide how much ribbing will be at each end.	.
G	Multiply the stitch gauge [A] times ankle width [C] for needles to cast-on.	.
H	Multiply the stitch gauge [A] times calf/thigh width [D] for needles to cast off.	.
I	Multiply ribbing length [F] times two (for both ends). Subtract the answer from the total length [E]. This is the patterning length.	.
J	Subtract ankle width [C] from calf/thigh width [D] for number total increases.	.
K	Divide total increases [J] by 2, (we will increase at both sides at once), for the knitting increases.	.
L	Divide patterning length [I] by the knitting increases [K], for rows between increases.	.
M	Multiply ribbing length [F] times row gauge [B] for rows of ribbing.	.
