A while back, my cousin asked me if I could make a pair of “super cool legwarmers” for her 1-year-old daughter. Seeing as how the little legs that would be wearing them are the most adorable chunky things in the whole entire world, I couldn’t say no. :) After a bit of experimentation, I finally came up with something super cool enough for Miss Katiebean. Here is the result:
Super soft merino wool legwarmers with everything the tiny fashionista in your life could ever want. These legwarmers knit up really quickly in the round, and are a perfect first time cable project. They’re also great for ambitious beginners!

Thanks for the pattern! I was looking for some little girly leggings to knit up for this fall. I have four year old and two year old girls and can easily see that this could be adapted to their sizes. Thanks for making a pattern so sweet and age appropriate!

These are soo cute – I will bookmark the pattern for future baby showers.
Isn’t it a pity, though, that we only appreciate chubby legs when they are on babies? lol

How can I adjust the pattern to fit my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter, as far as circumferance is concerned?

Ireney – Sure! Just measure around her leg to find out how much bigger you need to make them, then add your extra stitches in the stockinette portion. If you need help figuring it out, just let me know :D

Hi, I was curious if there was an easy way to down size this pattern? I was hoping for pretty small, like newborn or three months.

Lara – It should be pretty easy to size them down. I would use thinner yarn and smaller needles to start, and you could also remove some stitches from the stockinette portion. :)
