Pattern Description:

Sexy and cute, designed to sit above the boot line and hug the back or side of your calf with ornamental cables and optional split lacing design. The leg warmers use up less than one skein of a luxurious sport weight yarn; Malabrigo's new Arroyo and are finished by adding a bit of lace to tie up the backs. They're worked flat on 2 needles.

The cable is worked every right side row, resulting in something that looks deceptively complex but is easy to work. I named them after a dear friend who I shared my goth days with, and I think she would appreciate the design :)
