These very simple striped leg warmers use our Snaeldan 4ply weight yarn as it is a good, strong yarn that will cope with the occasional scuff from a boot, and that is a nice warm pure wool, of course.

This pattern is written for use with the Magic Loop technique - using a longer cable circular needle to work in the round. There are many tutorials on this technique on YouTube - I am not promoting one in particular as there are so many knitting styles too, so please feel free to find one that suits you best.

This pattern can also be worked on Double Pointed Needles or any other method that allows you to knit small circumferences in the round.
