Védís Jónsdóttir’s leg warmers from Ístex’s Lopi 27 in the Roses version: knitted from the top down in Léttlopi, with a twisted-rib top, a band of stone blue roses and celery green leaves on black just below it, and a small flare over the instep. The pattern’s hazel (1401) is no longer made; this kit has 0867 chocolate heather in its place — a little darker and less red than the leg warmers in the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Léttlopi wool yarn — 6 balls, enough for a pair in either size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnitting pattern in English (PDF) — emailed right after purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADDI knitting needles — only if you choose the kit with needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLéttlopi — 50 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · sizes S\/M (L\/XL), for a pair\u003cbr\u003e\nA 0867 Chocolate Heather (in place of 1401 hazel) — 3 (3)\u003cbr\u003e\nB 0059 Black — 1 (1)\u003cbr\u003e\nC 9421 Celery Green Heather — 1 (1)\u003cbr\u003e\nD 9418 Stone Blue Heather — 1 (1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — S\/M and L\/XL, cast on with 56 (60) stitches and decreased to 44 (48) at the ankle.

It begins with 5 cm of twisted rib (k1 through the back loop, p1) on 3.5 mm needles. On 4.5 mm needles comes a 13-round band of stone blue roses and celery green leaves on black, then chocolate heather for 5 (6) cm. Two stitches are then decreased at the back of the leg every 6th round, six times, to 44 (48) stitches, and the leg is knitted straight to 32 (34) cm — or as long as you need. Three increase rounds at the centre front make a small flare over the instep, and 3 rounds of twisted rib finish the lower edge.
