Projects: Leg Warmers for Emily

Last night I finished making these leg warmers for Emily using this pattern:


I adjusted the pattern quit a bit, only casting on 36 stitches to make the diameter smaller (my friend, Jill, knit up a pair according to directions & the leg warmers fit our toddler girls!) & knitting to a finished length of 7.5". This pattern was another easy one to knit & took me only 5 days. :)

I've realized that I really enjoy knitting clothing but not toys. I have a few toys I need to finish but I really don't want to. But if I sit to make an outfit, then I'm happy as can be.

They are precious! What exactly do babies wear leg warmers for? Do you put them under dresses? The idea is new to me. And no, I didn't wear leg warmers in the 80's. Ha ha!

Let warmers are great for babies in cloth diapers b/c it is so hard to find leggings that fit over the plump cloth. Emily will wear hers under dresses or maybe at night w/ a long sleeved tee.

Oh, and I made these leg warmers to fit from her ankles to her thighs.
