Knitting Leg Warmers with regular knitting needles

[ashy104]

I am new to knitting and I about to knit a pair of leg warmers. I just discovered that you could knit them with regular knitting needles instead of using circular knitting needles. There is a pattern that I really want to use but it tells me to use circular knitting needles. Is there any way I can do the same pattern, but on regular knitting needles??
