Baby Leg Warmers! Aren't they cute. Still working on the sizing and curve of leg. WIP a pixie hat to match these and another set or 2 coming soon. No specific pattern yet. I don't have a baby handy to measure so I've been using sizing list I've found online to get the dimensions right. Should you have your baby to measure you can probably figure out the dimensions then. The top cuff would be your thigh measurement. Cuff done in sc in back loops. Measure also the length of the leg and the ankle measurement. I work from the top down. When the cuff is the right size join with slip stitches, if all one color cont around edge of cuff, otherwise fasten off and start new color. These are done in dc. You could use sc for better sizing or hdc would give extra warmth. The first 4 to 5 rows will be over the thighs and I wouldn't decrease any until after. Your decreases will happen in the middle third and maybe some of the lower third of the legging. 2 decreases per round is reasonable, as done here. My next post will show 3 decreases per round. it narrows much quicker. At the end of your last round chain 4, sc in back loop in 2nd chain from hook and in next 2, sl st in next st on last round, sl st in next st, turn work so you can sc back down lower cuff in back loops. repeat around. Your lower cuff will be 3 sc long. If that's too complicated faster off after last row and make cuff separately to sew on
