Remix Baby Leggings


Pin It Now!


I have been coveting Berroco's Remix Yarn for a while.  I think it's perfect for baby items.  It's worsted weight (knits up quick - I have commitment issues with needles under a size 5...) made from 100% recycled fibers, and machine washable!!!  30% Nylon + 27% Cotton + 24% Acrylic + 10% Silk + 9% Linen.  Perfect for baby leggings!  So here's a pattern I made up based on measurements I took from other leggings.

Here's a basic size chart:

Baby:
Ribbing: 5" unstretched, 10" stretched
Length: 6 inches
Pattern: Knit 1 inch of ribbing on the small needles, 4 inches of leg, and 1 inch of ribbing.
 
Toddler:
Ribbing: 6" unstretched, 12" stretched
Length: 9 inches
Pattern: Knit 1 inch of ribbing, 7 inches of leg, and 1 inches of ribbing

Child: 7" unstretched, 14" stretched
Length: 12 inches
Pattern: Knit 1 inch of ribbing, 9 inches of leg, and 1 inch of ribbing

Adult: 8" unstretched, 16" stretched
Length: 16 inches
Pattern: Knit 2 inches of ribbing, 12 inches of leg, and 12 inches of ribbing

Needles Needed:
Size 5 double pointed needles (for top/bottom ribbing)
Size 8 double pointed needles (for leg)

Yarn Needed:
You can use one ball for a single color set of leggings, or multiple colors for stripes and patterns.  In this pattern color (A) is "Juniper" and color (B) is "Old Jeans".

Pattern:
Cast on 36 stitches on your size 5 needles in color (A)
Knit in K2/P2 ribbing for the size you want (see size chart above)
Switch to color (B) (if you want to) and size 8 needles for the leg portion (see size chart above)
Switch to color (A) and size 5 needles and knit in K2/P2 for ribbing (see size chart above)
Bind off.

My baby is due in late April so I will show & tell pictures of him wearing them after he's born.  Happy Knitting!!!
