What I did with my warmers was measure the starting
point, ie ankle or just around the knuckles of my
hand, and figure out how many stitches I would need to
cast on. Mom helped with that part, but it mainly
depends on what kind of yarn you're using. with the
leg warmers I had to increase at a certain point since
me thigh is considerably wider than my ankle. I did a
ribbed cuff on all of them, which is done by going
knit 2, purl 2 all along the row. It's helpful
therefore for the number of stitches to be divisible
by four. On the leg warmers I made the cuff somewhat
longer so I could fold it over and put elastic in. For
the rest of the warmer I did a basic garter stitch,
which is knit one row, purl the next, and so on. All
this on a circular needle, though not "in the round".
When done I stitched it up the side, either with the
yarn I had used or a matching thread. |
