Tania's Legwarmers

Well..one of them, anyway. One down, 15 to go.

I'm making 8 pairs of legwarmers as 'thank you' gifts for the students/cast members in the ballet I'm choreographing for the university. They need to be finished by Feb 28th. I decided I'd better seam them as I finished them, so the dreaded seaming of 16 legwarmers isn't left for the last minute.



I modified the pattern as follows: cast on 32 sts (instead of 27)

Stitch Pattern:

Row 1: sl st purlwise, (K2, P1) to last st, K1
Row 2: sl st purlwise, (K1, P2) to last st, K1

Did 5 rows in pattern with grey, then switched to rose and knit in pattern for another 30 rows (35 rows total, or 9 inches). Switched back to grey for remaining 5 rows. Bind off. Seam together with mattress stitch. Final piece measures 10 inches.
