Knitting kit for Northern Leg warmers by Lenes Knitwear in Önling No 1
The Northern Leg warmers are inspired by Nordic winter vibes combined with the big trend of the 1980s: leg warmers.
Perfect for cold days, wear them under wide trousers or over tights and leggings for a cozy, retro look.
Here we knit the leg warmers in Önling No 1, a super-soft merino and angora blend, resulting in exquisite and cozy leg warmers.
A quick and cozy project featuring a fun two-color pattern.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a knitting kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In some cases, however, you will not receive a pattern as part of your order:
If you buy a Yarn kit, you will only receive yarn for the design in question. Yarn kits are only sold for selected designs from external designers, where we do not have the right to sell the pattern. When a kit is sold without pattern, you can always see it in the header, which will say (excl pattern) in the header.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- For a select, few designs from PetiteKnit, we will add a printed pattern to the parcel - but for most PetiteKnit designs, you will not receive a pattern, as they are mainly sold as yarn kits (excl pattern). In these cases you will always be able to see it in the header, where it says (excl pattern).
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
