Leg Warmers are Back!

I loved wearing leg warmers as a kid (yes, in the 80s!).

I have been so cold lately that I have been avoiding skirts and stockings. I wonder if I whip up a pair (or two) if I will be more inclined to don dressier clothes and stay warm at the same time.

Though I do see the fashion includes them being worn over jeans too. Hmmm…

 

I did a quick Pinterest search for leg warmers that has some fun and easy patterns to make.

Craftsy also did a round-up of knitted leg warmer patterns (I’m not sure if they are all free).

 

If I do make a pair, I like the ones that are secured around the foot so they don’t keep bunching up.

Which is your favourite?

My eyes tell me that my reality is far from this dream – especially when I’m creating a new collection, the yarn and papers creep out of my studio into my living quarters because sometimes I just need to test a pattern in front of a good Hallmark movie or British TV series. Rubbermaid bins are filled with
