Londonderry Leg Warmers Reviewed by Sasha on 2011-11-26
Good pattern=) except one thing: I agree with the pre previous comment - 32 stitches is a too small amount. I am quite short (equals small legs)) and they were almost too tight for me. So if you're an adult (size M), I think you should add 2-6 stitches.
Made these different than suggested: added a 2by2 ribbing at the top and botom, and 4 easy 3to3 cablings. Think they turned out wonderfully :D
Otherwise, if you knit the legwarmers according to the pattern, I think it's a good project for beginners)
