These leggings were designed for my granddaughter; they are a fun knit that will look super cute on babies of all ages. The legs have a lace edging to add a little interest, but the lace can be left off for a plainer knit if preferred.

The bottom legs and lace are knitted separately and flat. The body is joined and then knitted in the round. This part is super fast, and great for working on as a portable project. They are small and easy to pop in to your bag to take on errands with you.
And knitting the body in the round means you don’t need to be able to concentrate too much.

They would make a great last minute gift as they don’t take too much time to finish. It is the ideal project if you are new to knitting in the round and are ready to give it a go!

The sample was knitted in Paintbox Yarns Baby DK (45% Acrylic/55% Nylon) in colourway Misty Grey 703.
