Aren’t these bellywarmers the cutest? Pingmag, which looks like an interesting site, brought these to my attention via an article touting the function and fashion of haramaki. A while ago a friend of mine mentioned that back in the early 1990s she was fond of wearing her sister’s “unit,” which I had never heard of.

Whatever you call them, now I want to make one!

It looks pretty simple, but here’s a tutorial that seems easy to follow.
