I've been looking for cute knitted leg warmers for Sophie and have had a hard time finding ones for babies. I searched the internet for a simple tutorial on how to hand knit a pair but couldn't find anything. Then while doing my daily blog readings, I ran into one that showed how to make leg warmers out of a knitted sweater and decided to try it. I had a brown knitted sweater that was coming apart so it wasn't hard to cut it apart and start sewing. I also stitched a little eiffel tower design in cream at the bottom of each leg. I've been feeling really crafty lately and have a few other projects sitting by the sewing machine.
