I got desperate this
winter and worked up a couple pairs of tapered leg warmers with superwash wool sock yarn on my standard gauge machine with ribber.
The other straight ones I made (in a previous post) were fine but
they did slouch a bit and I wanted them to stay up and cover as much skin as
possible.
Don’t know about you but my
legs aren’t straight up and down so I devised a tapered version to better fit my leg contours merely by adjusting tension
from tighter tension at the ankle to looser at the knee.
And as luck would have it, I had just received
the Lycra that I ordered and added it to the top few rows.
Works great and kept my legs toasty through the awful cold
of winter just fine.
Here’s what I did. You can adjust number of cast on stitches or tensions that will best fit your leg. One 100 gram skein of sock yarn will make a pair of warmers.
P.S. Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of your own legs???
