Free-Range Baby Legwarmers

by Eimear Earley

These legwarmers are designed to keep little legs warm during nappy-free time,
or while being worn in a sling or carrier. An i-cord drawstring tied at the ankle
keeps the legwarmers in place in spite of kicks or wriggles.
Knit in next-to-skin soft yarn for semi-naked baby time, or in a rougher wool as
an outer layer while baby-wearing.
