How to Make Baby Leg Warmers

Baby leg warmers are a great way to keep your baby's legs warm when they are in just a diaper. They are great during diaper changes because there are no snaps or buttons to work with. They can be made cheaply and quickly.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• adult-sized knee socks
• scissors
• sewing machine or needle and thread

1. Purchase adult-sized knee socks.

2. Cut off each sock right above the ankle. The top of the sock will become the top of the leg warmer.

3. Cut off the toe and the heel of the foot of the sock. You should have a band of fabric.

4. Fold the band of fabric over, with the wrong sides together. This will give you a smaller band with one end that is folded and the other end that is raw.

5. Line the raw end of the small band up with the raw end of the bottom of the long part of the sock.

6. Place the right sides together. Pin them in place.

7. Sew around the open edges with either a sewing machine or by hand. When finished, fold the band over. The seam you just sewed will be inside.

Tips & Warnings

• Put a can or bottle in the middle to slightly stretch all the fabric. This will make it easier to pin the band to the main part of the sock.
• Make sure to remove all pins before using the baby leg warmers!

on 4/7/2009 These baby leg warmers sound really cute. Save the foot of the sock to use for dusting and polishing chores.
