Looking for a knitting pattern for babylegs.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a pattern for knitting baby legs?

Thanks!

I'm knitting some baby legs right now. This is the pattern that I'm using, which I found on Ravelry: http://woolyheaded-baby-leggings.blogspot.com/

If you're on Ravelry there are a lot of baby legs patterns. Here is another one I just found:

There's another one that I really liked and can't find now.

I don't have a pattern, but I'm knitting something like that. (I like to make things up as I go along, and I can't seem to resist making changes on the occasions when I do use a pattern.) I'm doing mine in ribbing the whole way--no increases/decreases, nice and warm, and should allow them to be worn for a long time. I had leftover yarn from knitting a soaker, and this is my use-it-up project.

I just cast on 44 stitches (Twisted German cast-on, it's very stretchy), joined the stitches, and started doing k2p2 ribbing. I'm using worsted-weight and #3 needles and knitting a little loose--nice and stretchy. I've got both legs going at once (one from each end of the yarn), because I'm afraid I'll run out of yarn before I run out of leg, and if I have to add a "decorative" end of some other color, I want to start at the same point on both legs.

When they're long enough, I'll use a sewn cast-off (so it's stretchy). And with the all-ribbing ones, I figure a little too long is no big deal. They're easy to turn up, and will look fine.

Here are some from Alana Dakos' blog.

Wow, thank you very much!

I am new to knitting, so I'm never sure where to look for patterns online.

I have knit hats, baby mittens, and blankets, and am looking for something achievable and new. These look perfect.

So, I haven't examined the patterns in detail yet, but for those of you who are knitting them, are you knitting in the round, or knitting flat and stitching? I'm still learning all the jargon.

EljayMom, it sounds like you are knitting flat and then stitch the ends together to make the tube?

Thank you again.

These are knitted in the round...

I like these... they use sock yarn so they aren't so thick as some I've seen.

Applesauce--no, I was knitting in the round (finished last night). I started with double-pointed needles, then got brave and tried magic loop. (And, because it was all I had with me, I first tried magic loop with a 16" circular. I found that I much prefer a longer one! But it can be done with a 16" if necessary--or, at least, the right 16". I suppose some 16" needles might not work too well.)

I put them on yDD this morning, just to try them on (since it's rather warm here this time of year). They seem ok, though I think when I make another pair, I'll make a few alterations. I'm going to try 48 or 52 stitches, rather than 44, or maybe use a bigger needle. I'm debating whether to decrease as I go. On the plus side, it would give them a little shape, and I'm afraid that these straight ones might creep down (I saw a little evidence of that this morning). On the minus, it would mean I'd have to keep track of which end was which, and I'd have to pay attention to when to decrease, which would mean having a length in mind from the start. That wouldn't be so great for a use-it-up project.
