Infant & Toddler Legwarmers

Here is a toddler-sized leg warmer. Puddin's leg is too skinny, but you get the idea.


I just cast on 28 stitches,
worked k2,p2 around for 8 rows,
knit around until long enough,
& finished with a matching rib at the other end.
The yarn is Caron Simply Soft with size 8 dpn.




Same deal with these baby-sized legwarmers. "Cast on 24" and "stop sooner" are the only differences. For full scrunchie up the calf effect, these fit nb-12mo. And, no, Trixie wasn't happy with this modeling gig.

single mittens, too

I didn't see the point of knitting a mitten in lightweight sock yarn. You wouldn't be wearing mittens unless it was frosty outside. Since it's still in the "what if" stage, this mitt is knit from recycled wool. A Goodwill sweater that I unravelled. Nice, but not baby's bottom soft.

evolution from foot to hand

I wanted to knit a flip-flop sock. It didn't seem right, though. The bind-off curled back and my pinky toe disappeared completely.

So I'm playing around with it, thinking how to tweak the pattern to fit better, when it fell onto my hand. Eureka!

Sandal season is almost over anyway, right?
