NOTE: You might find it easier to knit these two at a time, especially if you're changing colours. Use two balls simultaneously and "do unto one what you do unto the other".
Simple Leg Warmers
Handmade Hugs
Sized to fit teens or adults with “standard” calves; to increase diameter, increase number of stitches to a number which, when divided by 2, leaves an even number, ie: 40 stitches will work (divided by 2 is 20) but 42 will not (divided by 2 is 21). You need the even number to have the rib work evenly.
