I made Penny a pair of baby legs last night following this super simple tutorial: http://littlebirdiesnest.blogspot.com/2009/03/easter-legs-another-baby-legs-tutorial.html. The knee socks that I used are just solid, brown, cable knit. I bought them in a two pack and her big sister will wear the others as actual knee socks. For Penny, I cut off the heel and toe and turned that small foot piece into a band, attached to the raw edge of the knee sock. Basically, baby legs are leg warmers. They are great for easy diaper changes and I can strip them off when it gets warmer this afternoon. I definitely want to make more so I am on the look out for cute patterned knee socks next!
I made some for my little guy too - love them! I bought more mens socks the other day, so I've got 4 more pair to make. But, finding girly knee socks right now to make some for my niece is proving difficult. I'm hoping as the weather gets cooler, I see more around!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative. I just love seeing pictures of your sweet baby. She is growing so quickly.
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable! And your baby legs turned out wonderful. Thank you for linking back to my site. I do use adult size socks for my toddler and children's sizes for babies. These make great gifts too - as they are sure to be unique :) Thanks again and best wishes!!
ReplyDeleteShe just keeps getting better looking!! :) Leg warmers making a comeback, huh? What next blue eye shadow?! I think I will like these better than the leggins, it will be much easier for my "still new to the potty" 3 year old!! I'll be on the look out too!!
