Inspiration: I've never owned a matching winter set.
I have a fairly large collection of mismatched hats, scarves, and single gloves, but never a full set. Being an eco-friendly blogger, I try not to purchase things new, and set out to find a way to make a matching set!

Step 1
Pick out an oversized sweater - the bigger the better, really. Make sure you can fit your calves into the arms. I use the wrist as the top so that there's more 'stretch' to hold the legwarmers in place, but that's a personal preference. Remember when you're cutting to cut through BOTH layers of the sweater!
Step 2
Creating it is super easy. Just cut it (inside out, if you prefer - I didn't), make sure the pieces are right sides together when you sew them, and then sew the seams! I used a 1/4in. seam allowance all the way around.
