Description
These legwarmers can be ideal companions both for long walks in the woods or around the city and for charming evenings in the cozy nook with a book and a cup of hot chocolate.
They are very warm due to the stranded colorwork, which doubles the worsted weight yarn. A bit of shaping and two cuffs guarantee the comfortable fit.
Such leg warmers are a perfect choice for last-minute Christmas knits, as you can make a pair in just two days – but they look like they take way more effort.
