Northern Leg warmers, yarn kit in Önling No 1 (ex pattern)

Yarn kit for Northern Leg warmers in Önling No 1 (ex pattern)

The Northern Leg warmers are inspired by Nordic winter vibes combined with the big trend of the 1980s: leg warmers.

Perfect for cold days, wear them under wide trousers or over tights and leggings for a cozy, retro look.

Here we knit the leg warmers in Önling No 1, a super-soft merino and angora blend, resulting in exquisite and cozy leg warmers.

A quick and cozy project featuring a fun two-color pattern.

Please note: This kit does not include a pattern. You can purchase the English / German / Norwegian pattern directly with the designer, Lenes Knitwear HERE
