Love
wearing
skirts?
Hate
cold
legs,
but
don’t
want
to
be
washing
socks
every
day?
Boots
letting
in
draughts,
but
don’t
have
enough
room
for
thick
woolly
socks?
Admit
it,
perhaps
legwarmers
are
the
thing
for
you.
These
are
really
simple
to
make.
No
shaping
necessary,
just
knit
in
the
round
and
stick
‘em
on
your
pins.
