These legwarmers came about because “Necessity is the Mother of Invention!” And, because I wanted legwarmers I could remove without taking off my boots. These lace and cable leggings are knit flat, and then fasten up the side of the leg with either buttons or a zipper -- directions for both are included!

The sample is shown in the smallest size, using Dream in Color Smooshy yarn in the colourway “Brilliant”. This is a relatively standard sock yarn; with 85% Superwash Merino Wool, and 15% nylon. If you’re looking to substitute yarns, any wool or wool/nylon sock blend should work up well!
