I’ll probably end up frogging these to at least redo them without the ribbing. Even the knit part is too loose for my liking (you can’t really tell until I have it on my leg) but isn’t quite as bad as the ribbing. It seems like they’re intended for really big yarn. Which is actually another reason I don’t particularly like knitting looms. If you prefer not to unravel your swatch you will need to purchase an additional skein. These simple legwarmers are designed to use up every last inch of one skein of Cascade 220. ![]() Then, drape the tape measure over your socks, keeping the end of the tape in line with the top of the fabric. Grab a tape measure and decide just how high/far you’d like your leg warmers to go, then jot down the corresponding measurement. I’m not happy with how the ribbing came out. 7.5 inch circumference (unstretched) x 14.25 inches long. 1 Cut the fabric so it fits over your lower legs. I learned how to purl on the loom (thank you, YouTube!!) and did a knit/purl ribbing for 15 rows and then just knit from then on. But recently I had the idea to try making some bulky leg warmers on a small one! So I picked up this 5 1/2″ loom from Hobby Lobby (my new favorite place!) and dug this ball of Homespun out from deep within my stash! I can’t even remember how long ago I bought this! It was an impulse buy because I loved the color so much ( Tulips). It came out way too big and made me lose interest in knitting looms. ![]() I’ve only used a knitting loom once, years ago, to make a hat. ![]()
