Need something to warm up your legs when the temperatures drop, or do you miss wearing some of your favorite skirts or dresses because it's so chilly out. Or are you like me and are longing for spring and just can't accept that its cold out and you need to wear pants. Why not try knitting a pair of lace legwarmers in your favorite fiber to keep your gams toasty warm while you wear your favorite flirty skirt.
These are simple to knit only requiring the knitter to have basic lace knowledge, mainly yarn overs, and two stitch decrease.

Love this! I can't wait to try out some of your lace knitting patterns. I just recently picked up this hobby and love it! Thanks for the great blog. I will definitely be coming back.
Love these! But I'm wondering, what multiple of stitches are these worked in? I want to make mine a bit smaller so I need to know by how many stitches I can decrease when I cast on. Thanks!
Katie - I've just started knitting them with 64 stitches as it seems to be multiples of 8. Working well so far!
Thanks for a beautiful pattern!
On R1 of the Fish Tail, it says sl 2 kwise- I assume that is slip 2 together kwise ? no slip 1 and then slip another one?
Then it says k1 passo, should I pass both slip stitches over or just 1?
Thank you kindly.
You are correct! You slip two stitches at the same time knitwise. This reorients your stitches so that when you pass them over the knit stitch your middle stitch is laying on the top of your decrease.
Thank you so much Bluebetty!
I also wonder about this pattern working in multiples of 8, as was suggested above, I tried it with CO 72 and it didn't work out I did not end with the K1 on the first row. Should it work with CO 72?
Thank you.
These legwarmers are really cute and I plan on making 2 sets of them, one for me and a set for my daughter! Thanks for sharing your pattern with us! :)
Hi,
These are beautiful. I want to make them right away. But, I dont know how to size them. Can you please suggest, how can I measure, how many stiches should I cast on so that they fit me snug.
