Edited 10/16/10 8 PM PDT edit in red.

BABY RINGS LEG WARMERS

NOTES:
1. Read through all instructions before beginning.
2. Be sure to use a stretchy cast on. I use the twisted German cast on.
3. Use your favorite method to join in round. I knit the first 6 stitches with the working yarn and the tail.
4. Don’t worry about “ladders:. After washing, drying and a few wearings they will merge.

Post a comment on how they fit her and her age. I bet they will fit even older.

Yes, something to wear for a one year old that is no longer wearing booties . My 12 month old is just walking and climbing but doesn't like to wear pants,these will be perfect to keep his legs warm with a onesie and a sweater around the house. On cool mornings the floor always seems so cold. thiss knits up rather quickly.

Thank you for your pattern. I found it easier than some other ones. I made seven pairs. Some multicolored. My daughter is due in December and I can't wait to give them to her.

I want to thank you again. My daughter loves them and my granddaughters daycare and then babysitter loved them. I'm attempting to make them again. I made one and it came out a lot bigger than I remember. I'm going to make it a little tighter. I made it too loose this time.
