Here is another gift I can finally share since Christmas is over. My niece is a dance teacher, and so of course, I decided to go with a “dance” theme for her gifts. I made these ankle warmers using a free pattern called Heat Wave Ankle Warmers from Designs by KN and Vanna’s Choice yarn in black, and I also included a ballet calendar and a resin pendant that has ballet shoes on it. I wish I could say I made the pendant, but that was one of the presents I bought off Etsy. This was from the Crystal Bouquet, and at the time, there was a buy 2 get one free deal going on. So I bought the ballet shoes pendant for my niece, a light house one for my sister, and I treated myself to the “free” pendant, which was the princess and the pea.
The ankle warmers were super fast to make, and since you work in the back loop of the stitches, they have a lot of stretch to them when you are finished. Hopefully, she finds them useful as she teaches little girls their right foot from their left foot!
