Leg warmers are pretty easy. I used a DK weight yarn and made them bigger than I would regular socks to compensate for the calf width and not have to worry about top or bottom. Then do lots of ribbing so it stays on well. Or not, if you want slouchy. I alternated a cable with a sts rib. easy peasy. Measure the widest part of the leg you need to accomodate and multiply by number of stitches you get (inches or cm) and you have approximately how many stitches you will need. Hope this helps, just off the top of my head.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770155110829496126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401597419976574371.post-69634608171815770052008-07-26T14:43:00.000-04:002008-07-26T14:43:00.000-04:00Do you have a suggested pattern for making leg war...Do you have a suggested pattern for making leg warmers using the 2-at-a-time sock method?

I've done quite a bit of two circular knitting for socks and stuff - and found instructions for doing two pair that way, just learned the magic loop for a pair of fingerless gloves, but wanted to knit another pair at the same time - I like to finish my projects - not have to do the same thing twice...<BR/><BR/>So your instructions were perfect, at a perfect time for me!
