Instructions
Left Legwarmer
Cast on 75 sts with brown yarn and make 32 rows due to the scheme 1 straight.
After making the next row (WS), place marker and circle it.
Work with stockinette stitch for 9,5 cm. Make the 20 rows of pattern repeat due to the scheme 2 x 5 times, increase 1 st x 9 in the end of every 10th row. There are 57 sts left. Continue work due to the scheme 3 for 15 rows on 57 sts (1st st – selvedge st).
Lower Cuff
Make 4 cm of 2 x 2 rib. Bind off the sts.
Placket for Buttons
Cast on 102 sts on RS with brown yarn, starting from the lower cuff. Finish your cast on at 2,5 cm height of the upper pattern due to the scheme 2. After knitting 4 cm of placket, bind off the sts. Sew the edges of placket. Sew buttons. Sew the upper cuff from inwards.
Right Legwarmer
Make in the same way, as left one, except placket. It’s better to knit it from up to down: start cast on from 2,5 cm before the first pattern repeat of the scheme 2. Cast on 102 sts and work due to the previously described algorithm.
