I spent a lot of time last spring trying to find the best pattern for leg warmers, and trying out various ideas. Here are some of the things I learned:
1. Leg warmers done in stockinette stitch can get rather baggy when you wear them, especially if they go above the knee. They will tend especially to bag at the knee. Stockinette isn't that strong or resilient under duress.
2. You have to take care in binding off your leg warmers, because as you know, the bind-off stitch can be rather tight. Use bigger needles (by at least a couple of sizes) when binding off so that you don't find out your foot can't squeeze through your leg warmer. Bind off stitches must be loose enough to stretch a little bit.
More discoveries next time. Signing off for now.
