Sweetheart Babylegs
These cute legwarmers are perfect to keep the little ones warm in the winter, no matter if they are crawling inside the house, or if you are going for a walk with them outside. I love baby-wearing, but my daughter tends to get cold ankles and legs so I decided to crochet easy warm baby legs for her. These are also perfect as last minute baby-shower gift, as they can be made in less than 2 hours.
