Alana Dakos Legwarmies

Alana Dakos has designed these adorable cool weather accessories for your cherished one's little legs. From 3-month-olds to 3-year-olds, they make cute additions to short skirts or as stand alones under a Tee. They can also be worn over tights or leggings and worn straight or scrunched down around the ankle. Have fun deciding on color combinations from the 10 choices we kitted.

The pattern is simple, using 2x2 rib and stockinette stitch worked in the round. The pattern features 3 versions you can work: Solid Legwarmies (in which case you will have enough yarn for two pairs, one in each kit color), Thin Stripe Legwarmies, or Thick Stripe Legwarmies.

The kit includes the FREE pattern and 2 skeins of Baby Cashmerino Sport yarn from a mixture of brands...Debbie Bliss, Lang, Rowan and Ella Rae, in order to capture a wide assortment of color combinations. All yarns are very similar, some even coming from the same mill as each other, with only minor shifts in fiber content. The kit is based upon the smallest yardage skeins, so all kits will be adequate or more than needed for the legwarmers shown.
