Let’s make leg warmers! Plus, Valpo’s newest mural.

Hi everyone! Thanks for being here! I made Max a nect warmer last year and made a tutorial for it (   • Make a cute toddler (or adult) neck warmer...  ). This one is a spin-off showing you how go use the exact same gauge and techniques to make leg warmers. They are perfect for warming little legs or protecting pants of babies who are learning how to crawl. You can make the leg warmers in any size in a couple of hours! This easy and short project is perfect for de-stashing or recycling your yarn. Make it in the summer (when the heat makes knitting-inspiration harder to find), or in cooler months for a fast warm piece you can use right away. Make neck warmers to tell your loved ones you’re thinking of them, as special-day gifts, or simply as a short project to keep busy as you find your next big one! This tutorial is beginner- friendly, short and sweet, perfect for practicing a new trick like using double pointed needles (you can also use a magic loop for circular needles, see:    • Knitting Help - Simple Magic Loop  .
