Baby’s little legs can get cold even on a sunny day, but pants get in the way with frequent diaper changes. Why not keep those little legs comfy with some stylish leg warmers? These little leggings are knit seamlessly in the round using right and left twists so you won’t even need a cable needle. You’ll want to make your little one a pair in every color!
