This very easy legwarmer pattern is called "Deux", and it's available free of charge, from Berroco. Pattern written for S, M, and L. They knit it up in "Foliage", a wool and acrylic blend with lovely color changing self-stripes. Since this yarn is now discontinued, you may have trouble sourcing it at your LYS. Not to fear! There are substitutes...
Try Universal Yarns "Poems Chunky" in Ultraviolet for a similar look. It's 100% wool with long color repeats. Or try Noro "Hitsuji". The colors are dreamy, but the stripe repeats are much longer, giving a different effect. Noro "Iro" is also discontinued, making it available on sale in LYS and online, with a nearly identical striping profile.
Not a variegated fan? Prefer your yarns to variegate without striping? Those yarns are available everywhere. Just make sure that you choose a yarn with the same weight and get the same gauge, and have a ball!
