Children like comfortable clothing best. And that definitely includes leggings. These leggings fit the body perfectly thanks to the stitch pattern, whether the child is slim or a bit chubbier. They fit at first with a diaper bundle and the fit remains good later on at kindergarten age, too. Yes, these leggings grow with your child for a while.
In the pattern, we start from size 86–98. However, it can also be expanded very easily for larger children.
All individual steps are explained and supplemented with many photos.

These fingerless mitts, or wrist warmers, are very comfortable and also very easy to knit. They can replace gloves, for example, keeping your hands free. I also like to use them around the house when I’m sitting at the computer.
