​Chunky Slouchy Knit Leg Warmers

To Knit Leg Warmers You'll Need:

US 11 (8.0 mm) 12" or 16" circular knitting needles
2 balls super bulky yarn (I used Loops & Threads Cozy Wool in Grey Sky, available at Michael's) 180 yards total

How To Knit Leg Warmers:

Cast on 34 stitches and join in the round
Knit 1, Purl 1 (to create ribbing) until your work is 2 1/2" long
Knit every stitch to create stockinette until your work is 13" long
Knit 1, Purl 1 for another 2 1/2"
Bind off and weave in the edges
Repeat for the second leg warmer.
Note: These are what I would consider a S/M women's size. Feel free to add stitches in sets of two to create a larger size.
Also, if you don't feel comfortable knitting in the round you could knit them on straight needles (skipping the whole join in the round bit). The middle section would have to be knit one row, purl one row, to achieve stockinette. Lastly, you'd have to seam them at the end. But seriously, seaming is harder than knitting in the round, I encourage you to try it!
