This is a great basic leg warmer and sock pattern. Use the chart for a distinctive pair of leg warmers or socks for men or women, or use it for a jumping-off point for your own designs. You can also read the full description or view all Mac & Me Patterns.
I bought $50 worth of organic cotton yarn (recommended) and the wrap is not only too short but it looks like a big towel. It was boring to knit and boring to look at. Very disappointed. I'm a beginning knitter but have knitted lace and other shawls/blankets. It looked so pretty in the picture and I wanted to try it. The wrap doesn't go all the way around as it does in the picture. Needs at least two more hanks of yarn. I will open it up and make something else with it.
I knit this with the Handmaiden Sea Silk. Two were plenty to make the longer version. If there was a problem with the stitch count on the ruffle, it has been fixed now. I had no problem with this pattern. The scarf is simple and elegant.
Didn't anyone else find this pattern wrong right the get go. Seed stiches are worked on an even number of stiches, not on odd. Unless I'm missing something, or doing something incorrect. I'd love to know if anyone else had any other problems. Thanks.
cant wait to do this project. my New Year project ! the Organic cotton yarn is so great with it and Jimmy beans wool is my new favorite...... glad that I found them.
First a pair for me. Utterly delighted I made an additional pair for five other relatives. Two kindergarten teachers went wild with their 'playground gloves', an elderly aunt in Minnesota calls them her 'missal gloves'. I had to make two more pair for each of my BFFs and hiking buddies one who also volunteers for Meals on Wheels. So simple, versatile, warm. They are wonderful!
As I wanted to buy this pattern and didn't find it anywhere else, so I decided to get it. The surprise came when shipping was added. It was almost as much as the price of the pattern.
The ruffle pattern is terribly wrong. I worked on this shawl for year before finally finishing it because there are just too many stitches in the ruffle "as written" and I had to keep ripping it out and starting over. Also, the pattern requires 8 balls of yarn: whereas at least 12 are needed. Thankfully Jimmy Beans Wool tracked down additional yarn of the same dye lot for me. I have heard "around the yarn shop" that Mac and Me patterns are wrong many times. Once I rewrote the ruffle pattern the shawl is beautiful and the Blue Sky Alpaca Silk is magnificent to work with. I emailed Mac and Me several times to ask about the mistakes and got no reply. They don't seem to care. That is why I am writing a bad review.
I have made this wrap numerous times. It is beautiful. I do, however, make it much longer (which requires more yarn obviously). It's a beautiful simple wrap in Cascade Yarns' "Luna" which requires larger needles and, again, much more yarn.
