Personal Space Invaders Legwarmers

Description

These legwarmers are part of the Personal Space Invader set with the Personal Space Invader Dog Sweater. Available individually or as a bundle!

This pattern includes video tutorials to help you along the way.

A fun, retro video game inspired dog sweater is as fun to knit as it is to show off on your walks!

These legwarmers are a simplified version of our matching dog sweater, with minimal shaping for a slouchy, relaxed fit. Note the tension of your colorwork can make these fit more snug than intended, so keep that in mind when choosing your size. Instructions are included for three sizes of leg warmers.

The sweater and the legwarmers are meant to be oversized for a cozy feel. Both versions are knit seamlessly in the round, beginning and ending with striped ribbing, and two color stranded colorwork throughout. The color combinations are endless, and you can add a pop of other colors wherever you’d like with duplicate stitch after you finish knitting.

Yarn:
This is an estimate, the final yardage will vary based on your yarn choice and tension.
The samples shown use a 100% wool DK weight yarn that blooms beautifully when blocked. Look for a plied, non-superwash 100% wool yarn in a DK weight with a tweed coloring. Cascade Yarns Revive and Rowan Moordale are great options. Alternatively you can also use a DK acrylic yarn, which will be easier to care for, like our favourite Paintbox Yarns Simply DK.
