This morning I steam blocked the legwarmers for elder daughter. She is a petite woman, so the overall length is 19 1/2 inches. She intends to roll over the 3 1/2 " top ribbing at the knee.
Needles used: double pointed, sizes 6 and 8
Yarn: Patons Classic 100% Merino Wool
Cast on 52 stitches with smaller needles, and work in Knit 2, Purl 2 ribbing for 2 1/2 ".
I switched to larger needles for the rest.
The cable pattern is the "stitch plait" pattern from The Knitting Stitch Bible . It's worked over 18 stitches. The rest is stockinette stitch, then 3 1/2 " of K2, P2 ribbing at the end.
Simple and warm.

They look great! Wish I had learned how to knit and crochet. Maybe one day I will...
Dottie and Martha,
Thank you. I think legwarmers are in style again, so you might be able to find them in stores this fall.
