Knitting For Olive | Olive's Leggings Pattern & Yarn Pack
Everyday Comfort for Little Legs
Olive’s Leggings are a wardrobe essential for babies and children—simple, cosy, and designed for everyday wear. These versatile leggings are knit from the bottom up in the round using one strand of Merino for softness, warmth, and flexibility.
Each leg is worked separately to the crotch before being joined on a single needle. The crotch is shaped with gentle decreases, and the back is contoured using short rows for a better fit over nappies or growing little bottoms. A folded waistband keeps everything in place, finished with an i-cord drawstring for the three smallest sizes or a 3 cm elastic for the larger ones.
Perfect on their own or layered under dresses and tunics, Olive’s Leggings are an effortless addition to any handmade wardrobe.
