ENG Flashy Dashy legwarmers

Wonderfully warm for cold days or simply as an accessory, you can knit these Flashy Dashy leg warmers yourself! With small patterns in fair isle you will have knitted a leg warmer in no time!

The soft colors of these leg warmers are knitted with the sock yarn from Onion knit. This is an organic and ecological sock yarn in which nettle fibers are processed. This gives the yarn its strength which you can expect with a comparable sock yarn containing nylon.

These leg warmers are knitted for a calf size of 33 cm. Because you insert, the part in fair isle pattern is slightly less flexible than the border. For a larger size, I recommend adding 2 stitches per extra 1.5 centimeters. Especially if you also want to wear it over your pants.

Total length of leg warmers: 46 cm
