baby leggings
EZ’s baby leggings turned out super-cute, but a bit too big for Spice right now. She just turned 4 months, and I’d guess they’ll fit her around 6 months.
These ones were knit up in Cascade 220, which is some kind of Peruvian wool. I doubt it’s merino, but regardless, I don’t think I’ll be using it for baby-things-against-the-skin anytime soon. It’s one of my favorite “workhorse” yarns and not terribly scratchy, but it’s just not as soft as I’d like for baby stuff. Spice was a little fussy in it, and call me twitchy, but I wonder if it was the wool.
I’ve started on another similar garment, this time in Berroco’s Ultra Alpaca. I really like that yarn, btw, as it’s sturdy, soft and not too pricey. I’m following the general idea of EZ’s leggings, but aiming for overalls. :-) No booties, straight leg with a cuff, etc. I’m almost to the legs, so I’ll try and post pictures as I go.
