DIY baby leg warmers tutorial

I've been meaning to do this tutorial for a while now.  It's not my own idea, once upon a time there was a very similar tutorial online.   If it moved, I can't find it and the bookmark I have says it's gone.  So here's my version.  Enjoy!

These are great for summer, crawlers, ECing, potty training, layering without wearing 2 shirts, summer nights when the mosquitoes are out, etc.  The ideas are endless.  The best part is these two sock sizes will fit a wide range of arm and leg ages and sizes!

First we start with socks.  You can use womens or mens.  I use two different lengths (heights?) of socks.  The shorter pair makes a perfect infant leg warmer and the longer pair is great for toddlers and big kids.  They even fit my arms.  Target has a great selection, and they often have seasonal prints (FUN!).  The knee highs are $2 a pair and the 3 pack of crew are $7.  Not a bad price for what we're making!  There are many prints that are suitable for boys too, and you can look in the mens section for dress socks too.  I have girly colors here because that is who I am expecting.
