This is a PDF knitting pattern.
Protect your tights from the elements with these stylish legwarmers! Pull them up for maximum coverage or fold down the long ribbed end for double warmth. Wear them slouchy for casual comfort. You can wear them as arm warmers too! The striped moss stitch fabric is extra stretchy. Make them in one of two sizes, with fingering weight held single or fingering weight held double for a thicker fabric.
