Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Keep your legs both toasty and stylish with these handmade legwarmers! You can adjust the pattern to create long, scrunchy ones, or super-short ones to look like booties. You can even make them as loose as you like. Elastic keeps them in their place all day and the knit stretches to fit. You can also make these using scraps from a favorite, old sweater; just make sure it stretches enough to fit over your leg.
This amazing idea was created by Nicole Smith, Editor of Sew Stylish, and Associate Editor of Threads. Get more of her great ideas on her blog!
