I saw this pattern for “Baby Frog Legs” (legwarmers) on Facebook and I just had to share it because fat little baby legs in handknit legwarmers make me smile.

That’s probably because custom legwarmers were one of the first things I ever knit for my little preemie’s tiny legs, and the colorful yarn I used was similar to that shown in this pattern from Lauren Dahl.

I actually still have a bunch of that yarn I always meant to make baby pants out of. Maybe some more legwarmers are in order. Maybe a matching mother-daughter set?
