Leggings!

Iowa was spoiled with temperatures in the 40s for the last few days.  Today, we're back down into the 20s.  The chill made me think of these leggings I found a while back.

Elizabeth Zimmerman has a pattern she calls Nether Garments.  In the images for the pattern, you see several variations of the same basic pattern.  The pattern can be found in several books listed on the Ravelry page.  

There are two free alternatives I found as well.  They are Tights by DROPS designs and the cabled, Mermaid tights also by DROPS designs.
