Leg-warmers embody everything awesome about the 80's. Everyone who was anyone sported this totally tubular fashion statement, whether to the gym or to the mall. You can easily make Milli Vanilli any size you like, and you can choose to crochet (Milli) or knit (Vanilli) them. Or, if you're bi-craftual and proud, you can combine panels from both versions of the pattern to make your own completely unique set of nostalgic leg warmers.
