I saw these in my local shop. they are called "baby legs" they have a web site too. Anyway I thought they looked easy to make so I grabbed a new pair of socks which never fit my older daughter and cut the heel and toe off. Then just turned the foot section in to itself to make a cuff and zig zag stitched it to the leg part.
I'm a little bit proud of how easy this was. If anyone wants a tut let me know...

Baby leggings can be used as arm warmers & leg warmers for all ages. They make great baby gifts too. I love them as I don't have to cart jumpers around or fiddle to change nappies. Moo & Bear share a black pair while Bubble has 3 of her own. All made from recycling socks which were too small for Moo when I bought them.
Step 1. Find a fun pair off socks. I am using Moo's old socks which have a hole in one heel.
Step 2. Cut off the heels and toes like so. -

Step 3. Discard the heel & toes or recycle them and make a new project. If you think of one let me know as I have a few heel and toes floating around.

Step 4. Using the lower foot piece turn them inside each other wrong sides together. This will be the bottom cuffs.
