I've been testing out my patience for fair isle (and not for the first time), via the creation of these leg tube thingies. They came out cute, and were a good use for a small selection of my recycled/hand-dyed yarns, such as I invariably have hanging around. Even in the Pacific Northwest, it's definitely not seasonally appropriate to bust these out; however, I was entertained. And isn't that the point?
I used this pattern as a start:

Departures--aside from the obvious stopping before it became a sock part--include changing the actual fair isle pattern to this weird little blank rabbit thingy, and upping the needle to a US size 7.
