I made some baby leg warmers today – it was sooooo easy!! (I am NOT NOT NOT adding these as a product. I will make them on request for friends.)
My original plan was to make a two-layer tube out of some leftover knits that I have, then add a cuff on each end, tucking all the seams away inside. Then I thought about taking adult knee socks, and adding a cuff made from knit fabric to either end. Then I decided to just knit some. (More on that later.) While searching for knitting patterns for baby leg warmers (to no avail), I came across this Flickr set and decided to first try the knee sock idea, but using the foot part of the socks for the cuff.
And this is Wally wearing one of the shorter pairs (the longer ones go all the way up to his hips).

I too have looked to no avail for baby leg warmer knitting patterns. I am the verge of trying to figure it out for myself, but would love any tips you might have. Yours look great! Thanks, Mayme
I am also looking for baby leg warmer patterns. If you won’t sell the leg warmers, how about the pattern? =)
Deb – did you go to the linked Flickr set?
Also, here is a brief tutorial for knit legwarmers, along with pictures of the finished product.
