Pattern Notes:
• If using a 16" circular needle, the stitches will be tight on the cable rows. Instead of using a
circular needle, you may use double pointed needles.
• K4, P1 ribbing may be used in place of the Cable Ribbed Pattern at top and bottom of
legwarms.
• As you work the legging, you can carry the non-working yarn up the rows by twisting it
loosely with the working yarn at the beginning of each round. This eliminates the need to
weave in ends of yarns that are created when you cut yarn to change colors.
