After discovering my newest favorite hobby (knitting) over the last summer, I have fallen in love with the simple lace patterns and am looking forward to trying cabling next. I just wanted to leave you all with this awesomely simple pattern that I whipped up for myself the other day. It literally took me only two days to knit (or two end of the days movies) and I am a fairly slow knitter so I'm sure it whip up just as fast (if not faster) for you. Beginner's Leg Warmers I used a heavy weight yarn for this project (Vanna's Choice Heavyweight in Ivory) Size 15 (US) knitting needles. *Note- These are knitted from the base up, and are as a flat piece and then stitched together using the mattress stitch. Stitches are easier in the eyelet section if they are knitted more loose. CO 35 Row 1: *k3, p2; repeat from * to end. Row 2: *p3, k2; repeat from * to end. Repeat rows 1&2 7 times. Should be a total of 16 rows so far. On the RS, begin eyelet pattern Row 17: k1, *yo, k2
