Crocheted Longies

I beta tested a Brillopants crocheted longie pattern (size small).



They were very easy and quick to make.


I used a mystery thrift store find wool yarn that I hand dyed using Kool-Aid.














I ran out of the rainbow yarn, so I added some green (also dyed with Kool-Aid) on the ends like cuffs.












Now, all sewn together.

I thought it was interesting how the legs turned out differently even using the same yarn.














Here they are on my 21 month old (22 lbs).


They are a little tight on her legs.
















Here they are on my 1 month old (10 lbs).


Obviously quite a bit large on him (and the cuffs are turned up) , but he has a tiny heiny.

Gorgeous if I must say so myself!
They turned out really well - I love the yarn and the fact that one of the legs looks like it has a Cause Ribbon on it.
Thanks for trying it!

These are darling! I'm a tester too and in knitting this same size I was thinking they looked kinda large so it is great to see them on kids! My granddaughter isn't due to enter the world for four more weeks, and I was thinking maybe I should have got the NB size. But maybe these will be fine in 3 months or so. :)
