I was inspired by Wild Violet’s Funfetti Cupcake Suri Alpaca yarn to design these fun throwback plaid leg warmers.

I am making this pattern free with code YWCACambridge, but I am requesting you donate to YWCA Cambridge directly here or pay through Ravelry and I will make the donation on your behalf.

YWCA Cambridge is a cornerstone for providing safe, affordable accommodations for women and families and an advocate for human rights. With 103 units of single room occupancy (SRO) housing for single women and a 10-room shelter for homeless families, the YWCA is the city’s largest residential housing provider for women.

YWCA Cambridge is dedicated to eliminating racism empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

Thank you!
