Leah has sweet little legs which can get cold in winter so I knit up some leg warmers for her. I could not find any legwarmer patterns handy so I made up my own.
Using Galway Chunky yarn and size 8 and size 13 needles.
Cast on 28 stitches with the size 8 needles.
Knit 2, purl 2 for about an inch.
Switch to size 13 needles and knit all rounds for 10 inches.
Knit 2, purl 2 for an inch, then bind off in rib. If you think the little leg is too small to do the final rib using the size 13 needles, go down to a size 10. For chubby legs, knit the knee ribbing with the size 13 needles.
Hopefully Leah will allow me to photograph her legs in the warmers, but that is not a foregone certainty. She has a mind of her own at age 2-plus!
