Pattern Notes:
This pattern is worked front to back, starting from the top of the leg warmer with a seam along the back. This is a full-length pattern that is worn from above your knee past the heel of your foot. It’s not your typical leg warmers. The mesh stitch is worked to be loose around your calf and snug in the bands above your knee and under your foot.
Finished Measurements:
Top and bottom bands (folded flat): 4.5in
Ribbing: 1.5in
Full Length: 26in
To fit the top band, cast on the first 45st and work 5 rows in Knit 2, Purl 2 ribbing. Cast off and wrap it around above your knee, this should be snug (it will loosen up a bit as you begin to work the pattern). If it is too tight/loose, increase/decrease by 2st increments. The pattern from that point remains the same.
