Baby leg warmers crochet fun

Posted on Dec 04 in Featured, free craft projects, parenting, personal storiesby PrintText Resizer Text Resizer

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects…

Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to finish them and they are now too small for her. The accomplishment is still nice though.

For those of you wondering, I used this baby legwarmer pattern but changed it up a bit. I HDC for 4 rows and the did the front post/ back post every 5th row and repeated it over and over. I use these tutorials to help me through the pattern:

  • Double base chain: https://p9.secure.hostingprod.com/@iamintheloop.com/artofcrochet/ssl/videos/dbch.php
  • Raised double crochet: http://www.crochetme.com/working-around-the-post-exploring-raised-double-crochets
  • Half double crochet (HDC) stitch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxA2osb5Qfk
  • Front post/ back post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3J4P0joe48

Now that my legwarmer project is done I can finish up on my blanket project for E that I started when I was pregnant. Hopefully it will be done by Christmas!

Hi,
I just love them. do you have a pattern for this

She looks just precious! Those leg warmers are not only a pretty adornment for a cute little girl, I've read that warm extremities keep circulation healthy, so those legwarmers will also be taking good care of her.

These baby leg warmers are absolutely adorable. They will make wonderful baby gifts.

Cute! We'll be keeping those for posterity!
