Hunajaiset

2/4

About the Pattern Hunajaiset [fin] = Honey, Honeyed, Mellifluous, Sugary [eng] Hunajaiset leg warmers are made in collaboration with Opal yarns to highlight their Sweet Dreams collection. These leg warmers are worked top down with slight shaping at the ankle. The fast and easy-to-knit stitch pattern is perfect for showing off the self-striping Sweet Dreams yarn. Slipped stitches in a solid Opal 6-ply create shadows and texture on the leg in a honeycomb pattern. Wide cuffs of mock-cabled ribbing in the contrast color set off the patterned leg. The Hunajaiset leg warmers pattern and Sweet Dreams yarn make the sweetest match for chilly autumn days.
