Picot Baby Leg Warmers Review

Baby Leg Warmers

Grade: A

Difficulty: Advanced-Beginner

Pattern: Picot Baby Leg Warmers

I made these last week for the little at my house to wear. She loves her skirts, but it's getting to where it's too cold to let her little legs just chill out. And let's face it, sometimes with diapering, tights are just a big pain. So these were my compromise. Miss E likes them. She calls them socks, which the kind of are, and kind of aren't. I made these ones a little long, so that right now they actually go up just over her knee and sit there. I figure that will give her more time to wear them as her legs get longer.

The pattern was fairly simple, and very straight-forward. For me, it was strange to do the cuff at the top, working sideways to the rest of the work. But it turned out okay. One of mine is admittedly a little bigger at the top than the other. But oh well! I loved that the author explains it so that you can easily make this for any size of person, and you can really use any yarn you want as long as you have an appropriate size hook for it. 

I called the pattern advanced-beginner mostly because you need to understand the abbreviations (she does have a little glossary on the page) and know how to do more than just a single-crochet stitch, but it's really not difficult. I took a couple of days to finish mine, while I was working on other things. Overall though, if you are a fast crocheter and you have a model who will hold still for you to get the first one to fit right, it probably doesn't take more than a couple of hours to whip these babies out. And then you can make more in other colors!

I realize that the picture is kind of terrible. I will try to get a better one, as well as one with some little legs in the warmers, but for now this one will have to do! Let me know what you think, as always!

**Update: I did at least get a much better picture of these! Still working on one with legs in them!
