Ribbed Legwarmers
Material needed:
Small round Knifty Knitter loom (24 pegs)
Knitting hook
Approximately one half skein of yarn of your choice. (sample was made with worsted weight yarn from my stash...no labels sorry)
Crochet hook
Stitches used: E-wrap knit nit and purl, cast-on, cast-off.
I used two balls of yarn on the same. One was an amethyst and the other was a variegated sport weight yarn colors included purple, blue, fuchsia and green.
Gauge is going to depend on the yarn used, but it's not really important in this pattern.
These legwarmer fit my 9 year old daughter.
e-wrap cast on all 24 pegs
Row 1-5: k2p2 (Knit 2 pegs Purl 2 pegs) for a ribbed edge (this is the bottom part of the legwarmer)
Row 6-31: E-wrap knit (31 rows are perfect for my daughter, so you can increase and decrease the number of rows as needed)
Row 32-40: k2p2 (Knit 2 pegs Purl 2 pegs)
Row 41: purl
Cast off using crochet hook.
This makes the top part a little tighter than the bottom, this helps them stay up.
