The Karine Legwarmers - Digital Knitting Pattern

Designed by Laila Simon

Laila was inspired to make this chart after finding a photo in her Norwegian grandmother’s photo album. She charted directly from the image. We don’t know who she is, but love her energy and we feel like the patterns embody her outdoorsy vibe in the Norwegian countryside. Laila named the chart Karine, after her own Norwegian middle name. She first designed the Karine Legwarmers and Cowl, then Kate used the chart to make the Karine hat pattern! Check out our whole series of patterns based on the Karine chart.
