Leg Warmer To Match

Leg Warmers actually, I think they are cute to wear with the wrist cuffs below. I added a 4 inch 2x2 rib and excluded the thumb hole, plus about a 2 stitch increase twice during the body to the pattern for the wrist warmers. This made a great fit, my calves are about 12", ankles about 8". Since I did the wristlets with 46 cast on, I only increase to 48 as the deep ribs go around the ankle and create a snugness. Neither piece is skin tight. These are a few inches greater in length than the wrist warmer, also, as many more as you like. Use a new (not a shrunken worn one) knee sock for the guide to length.

I squeezed these onto a round size US 7 knitting needle in the smaller size either 12" or 16", either piece can go on in length as long as you prefer, from ankles to mid-thigh or from wristlet to elbow, although the tops could become tight unless you are thin. Instead of Red Heart worsted, Canon Softee, wool blends or faux wool yarns will be even cozier, especially for the leg warmers--while the sturdier universal worsteds are great endurable choices for your hand and wrist warmer.
