</span></p>
<ul>
<li> Country Style DK (45 % acrylic, 40 % nylon and 15 % wool) 100g / 3 1/2 oz balls (each approx 318 m/ 109yds)
2 balls Magenta (#501)
<li>One pair (or circular) 3.00mm needles
<li>One pair (or circular) 3.50mm needles OR whichever needles your require to produce the gauge given below
</ul>
</p>
<p><span CLASS="subhead">GAUGE</span><br>
24 sts and 32 rows = 10cm / 4ins over stitch pattern, using larger needles.</p>
<p><strong>Notes</strong><br>
1. One st at each side edge of the work (selvedge sts) should be taken into the
seam allowance. These selvedge sts should always be worked in St st (RS k
and WS p) despite what the stitch pattern requires. Do not work incs in these sts;
for neater seaming, work incs in 2nd or 3rd st from the edge.</p>
<p>2. The reverse side of these legwarmers is quite wonderful too. If leaving the
reverse side out, tails may be drawn through to inside with crochet hook or
left hanging as a fringe.</p>
<p><strong>STITCH PATTERN (worked over a multiple of 4 + 3 sts and 4 rows)</strong><br>
Row 1: *K3, p1, rep from * to 3 sts rem, k3.<br>
Row 2: *P3, k1, rep from * to 3 sts rem, p3.<br>
Row 3: *K1, [k1 into st 2 rows below next st on LHN and draw through loop, knit next st on LHN, then pass drawn loop over st just made = "dip 1" made], k1, p1, rep from * to 3 sts rem, k1, dip 1, k1.<br>
Row 4: *P3, k1, rep from * to 3 sts rem, p3.<br>
Rep these 4 patt rows</p>
<p><span CLASS="subhead">METHOD<br>
</span></p>
<p><strong>LEGWARMER (make 2)</strong><br>
With smaller needles, cast on 43 (51, 63, 71, 83) sts. Work k1,p1 rib for 18 (18, 24, 24, 24) rows, end with WS row. Change to larger needles.</p>
<p>Beg working stitch patt with row 1. Rep 4 rows of st patt, inc 1 st at beg and end of each WS row to 65 (77, 89, 101, 113)sts.<br>
Cont working even in st patt to 37 (45, 52, 52, 52)cm / 14 ½ (17½, 20½, 20½, 20½)ins from beg or to desired length, end with row 2 of st patt.</p>
<p>Change to smaller needles. Work in k1p1 rib for 6 (6, 10, 10, 10) rows. Bind off all sts loosely.</p>
