There are some nifty little things out on the baby market called BabyLegs. They are basically toe-less socks that you put on baby’s legs (or arms) to keep them warm, give them padding when they crawl, make diaper changes easier, or simply as a fashion statement. Ever since I was first introduced to the concept of BabyLegs, I’ve been fascinated and well… envious. They are so stinkin’ cute! But wowser, the price tag for glorified leg warmers didn’t jive well with my thriftiness!
As you know, there is a website for everything under the sun, and my favorites are those sites that tell me how to do it myself. If the instructions are clear enough (ie. enough pictures!), then I try it. Well, these instructions couldn’t be easier!
I bought used socks at Goodwill for $.99 a pair after a failed attempt at WalMart and Whiz! Bang! in 5 minutes flat, I was the proud owner of a pair of knock-off BabyLegs!
And here’s my adorable model in an argyle pair…
Cute! Cute!
This past weekend he wore a brown pair to a nearby homeschool convention and I had a ton of people stop me to ask about them. I just love it when I can say, “Made ‘em myself…and YOU CAN TOO!!!!”

Hey Amy~
Great post! I have about 5 pair of the Baby Legs. The gal who invented them lives up in Seattle. They were oringially invented for ECing. I started ECing (4yrs ago)when she was getting her start in her business.
I can’t remember the inventors name right off but she was in my EC Yahoo group and would give free pairs away to the gals that came to the meetings! right out of her diaper bag! So COOl!
Now people use them for more that ECing and you can find them all over! I think I read some place they sell them in other countries too.
She is a rags to riches story! I think her name is Nichole Donnally?
Well Have a happy day with your baby legs!
Blessing,

Guess I should have thought to explain that in the post! lol I added a brief bit of info at the beginning of the post, but basically, they have a lot of functions. My baby isn’t crawling yet, so I’m using them to keep his legs warm while the temperature is at that in-between stage…too hot for full footed clothes and too cold for just a onesie.
I recently gave a pair to a friend of mind who has a crawling baby on hardwoods. I used to have hardwoods and my baby ended up bear crawling b/c it was just too owey for her to crawl on her knees…wish I had these back then!
Hope that explains a bit better!
These are SO cute!!! Now, I realize this is a weird question, but what is the use of babyleg gear? Do they stay up when crawling better than pants?
Thanks!
Those are cute!! Micah is getting so big too, what a handsome little fellow.
love the homemade BLs! I only have onw purcahsed pair, the rest I made bc I ma too cheap to buy them.
I have a knee sock addiction now- I want some cute lavendar/purple ones to make into BLs and haven’t seen any.
Wow! That’s a neat story!
