These are a simple short cuff style leg warmer. They have ribbing at the top and then taper down slightly for a snug fit. A quick and easy but fun project that's great for handmade gift giving especially around the holidays. Make it your own with embellishments such as buttons or lacing ribbon through the top rounds. Don't be afraid to get creative with them!!
