Leg Warmers Knitting Pattern

I have been wanting to make a pair of leg warmers for my daughter for so long, and I’m happy to say that they are finally complete!  She loves to dance and I wanted to make some cozy super soft leg warmers to keep her ankles nice and toasty.  I’m so happy with the result, and I hope you like them too because I posted the pattern for free!
