If you can knit a sweater, you can knit these designer leggings. Worked entirely in the round, these leggings require the same amount of knitting as a woman's extra-small sweater, and are an excellent project for an advanced beginner. Their clever construction minimizes bagging at the knees, but allows for a generous fit across the crotch and hips. The leggings feature tapered legs and sit low on the hips for a modern take on the 80's favorite. Try-on-as-you-knit construction ensures a customized fit that works for your body.

For sizes XS (S, M, L, XL) you will need 7 (7, 7, 8, 8) balls of Filatura di Crosa Zarina (100% Extrafine Merino; 181 yds (166 m)/50g).

Suggested needles are US 2 (3 mm), 12" and 16" Circular Needles and Double Points. You will also need a Tapestry Needle, Stitch Markers, 3/4" non-rolling elastic waistband, 2 Cable Stitch Holders and waste yarn.
