Edited 10/16/10 8 PM PDT edit in red.BABY RINGS LEG WARMERS
SIZES:
To fit baby’s leg sizes up to about 18 months.
MATERIALS:
Sensations Cuddle Muffin about 1.75 ounces
Set of five size U.S. 4 and U.S. 6 double-pointed needles
GAUGE:
Unimportant
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.
5. Because of the "rings" these leg warmers will fit baby for a long time.

Bravo! Thanks ever so much for something in the toddler range! My granddaughter is going to love these! Susan Ellis
ReplyDeletePost a comment on how they fit her and her age. I bet they will fit even older.
ReplyDeletenot sure i understand. do you make two, and it fits the length of the whole leg?
ReplyDeletejust found out yesterday i'm a future aunt, so now I'm scoping out the baby patterns...
thanks,
jenny

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.
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on you daughter's upcoming birth.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
