I don't care for the magic loop method, either, but I've heard it depends a lot on which needles you're using. Great idea!

Knit half the stitches on each one. Knit from one end of the needle to the other end. Let the other needle, with the other half stitches, hang down in back. Then pull out the needle, turn the project around and knit the other half of the row. There is also a new way to use one long needle and calls for pulling the center of the loop of the needle out from between stitches. I don't care for it. To knit with circular needles; use two.

Thank you for letting me know! Fortunately, I did write it down on Ravelry. 4 stitches and 5.5 rows= 1 inch in stockingette. You’re right, I did forget to put my gauge here.

I was in Chicago and bought some beautiful Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted to make myself some legwarmers. And these are perfect! I just have one question: what is your gauge? I have looked and looked and don't see it. I hope that I am not missing it... Thank you! I can’t wait to make these!

The best leg warmer pattern I found after searching for a long time!! They wll be great for my best friend. now, I have a question... when you say "Work stockinette until piece measures 10 (10.5, 11) inches." do you mean from the very top of the warmer or from the start where you increased ?? Hope that makes sense. I am in the process of making them right now, hopefully you will see this very soon!! Thanks! First off, these are totally cute!!

If you're having problems with rolling at the bottom, maybe add a row or two to the garter stitch border. That should help.

I just got the knifty knitters looms for early Christmas, and really want to make the legwarmers ^^ The thing is, I can't seem to understand any of you knitter's lingo, so..... yeah. Any tips? lol Also, is there any way to keep them from rolling up at the bottom, while still keeping them flared? Sorry for the questions, but they are too cool to -not- make!
