Baby Leg Warmers

Pin It

A free crochet pattern!

I made these leg warmers shortly before Eden was born. At that time I wasn't sure how big babies legs were so I estimated a size that would hopefully work for several months. This pattern I came up with should work for a baby 3-9 months, but I won't know for certain for another 6 months.


There is a good variety of vegan yarns out there. Here is a great resource, explaining all the different fibers (cotton, linen, hemp, bamboo, etc.) and offering the leading brands. I use Cotton Ease in this recipe, an easy to find, easy to use yarn. But any worsted weight yarn will work.

Materials:
Less than 1 skein each of color 1 (brown) and color 2 (white) Lion Brand Cotton Ease yarn
USH8/5.00 mm crochet hook
USE4/3.5 mm crochet hook
yarn needle
scissors


Abbreviations
Ch: chain
Sc: single crochet
Ss: slip stitch
St(s): stitch(es)
