Clover Leaf Baby Leggies By: ERM
These are fun baby leggies to keep your little one warm while we wait for the sunshine to come and stick around for awhile. They are knit flat from the bottom up in the fair isle style and then sewn together with the seam down the back. The leggies are bound off with the Elizabeth Zimmerman sewn bind off method to maximize stretchiness. I used a 100% acrylic yarn for these legwarmers but any worsted weight washable and dryable yarn would work great. Helpful Tip: To avoid puckering when carrying your yarn to switch colors don't pull too tightly.
