I saw these
here with a link to a tutorial
here.
I HAD to make them!!!
Mine turned out like this...

(gotta love that spit up:)
...stockings too BIG and babies legs too SKINNY.
Still cute though!
I will be purchasing more tomorrow!!
I, like Ashley from makeitandloveit.blogspot.com, thought that parts of this tutorial were just a little bit confusing. So I thought I would do a tutorial of my own because like she mentioned, they are SO easy to make. Honestly, you can make a pair in 5 min.
Here goes: (warning: 1 million pictures!)
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmMdUNXwJtov1HqOqJWWp4Fd9bTFEOmLxWVbQybA7boJR5B12s_iTMDVxQrmYkbag-862f_37fnD95T63kmaGz3kkTZBMewUXnFiEsowV52RgBvn1I3JigR1hAvTCh4nEgcwZxvMVB-bk/s320/DSC_0001.JPG)
All you need is, KNEE HIGH SOCKS, SCISSORS, SEWING MACHINE and THREAD.
Make the above 3 cuts in your socks.
Now make your last cut as shown above. Cut more or less off the bottom to make a bigger or smaller cuff (for older or younger bebes).
You will now take the larger piece and flip it so the right sides are together.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-R4YI90e7Lmqe26XzlYqe7AZCrXUyPSahowg0xDQpsfKWMr9yvINBpZ2qSiVQe8Trb7B2xFRILWpHsxN1Gsums3Ni8ZyNroHsPpktSQ__96TvmFVn8rrPWDKvi2ZPe0KWUsA4vCNvGVg/s320/DSC_0056.JPG)
Take that same piece (soon to be your cuff) and close the open edge with a zig zag stitch.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivwKa-8EChHgNzUn_KktvknvAhlsh1CrEwAl3Lc9rUWh1q7Rq17cD6Ir7HUNTNJ98F4P4-aJ6iHWbOB6-GsGWrFWksM97ldfnfRYURGZ0pcJA2Q7jQdKNCsDu_kCTWcj55yM0zbEAEA8s/s320/DSC_0008.JPG)
Your cuff is well on it's way. Now turn the long part (leg) inside out.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_e4NfzvypT26ny0MxgDR8uM12CX3BrlCSJB1bKcrax0uFnikEHcs1NmxJMH7bbzGXGdbJwRFCwPYDc0Y129sOBX6wTdWidm0RXzSqhJe3Nf4bZTbHp2i_lEmEmhd-r0a3zfMuA9BWOK0/s320/DSC_0068.JPG)
Start to turn your cuff right side out... but not all the way.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAOLf9VgUz_GKXFds0F_mRg09jTAuYfi9AOTBOzJgMoMlWcbaZ3jTtrr2ZBxaYK70y-H9cOTZjMR1DWHWFsfBpxQPJy6ADi4FLQ3SldHbPWRjmQRSc6JaV0Nn6FI_CImEMIWtxdNbW_EA/s320/DSC_0069.JPG)
Just till it is exactly in half. (folded edge towards the leg, unfinished edge toward the toe).
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSjvGSxOZtUPybovAkTeJX597IGmLR40Dpni-xS2CMZephAg5BTdHHwixm5SCFCdz1lMikpcqGwCviGq1aWPJwlyOue50tO-T3fVfxQq2iE2pYPJjjLNvPGGDnzODgjpGcpKapLuDKID8/s320/DSC_0017.JPG)
Simply slide the leg up so it is even with the cuff.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz5uX3Q1E3E8AJX3Q7hEM_hA-TCF8mssVqXGue9iXOpU3xY93iL08xOZf8CjYb9sklITYpDgd_zC9RcwM01oBjBv1Ua_riwwS4N0r8dRy0tsdB1MSztbsJrAJHfgBm-IBkGR_AqKLkncI/s320/DSC_0018.JPG)
Move that cuff closer to the leg.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMycPi0nC9RVIla-gDK2rJntgGsUzj7VOsgKdBWCkTw5omYN5RTYg_L2lCOTfy8HabFqQoG9l4Zibr-ZKbKNesY_30POyLIKcEDyhYQvuzgV9u9UjH5oIZvRfEnsTW8yxDGFVaLx_0l4Q/s320/DSC_0019.JPG)
Even closer, till it is inside the leg.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidXPKOOHr8s74BvIQBh5I-mSXfNg5s1ZnMQgoPnP5sTKEomSHmT4UpG3ZzTS3yUR7jkq2X8dpYnyUrUa_t51IPqkznmU5zyYkEdrBfq37MvIuMgfSP7C5n2xi6jzzByxOAWJfrC3uzgAE/s320/DSC_0020.JPG)
In a little more.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ4C4r1tseyL6AjS82OQB1YFBAlHtmJPyX5GXenm8eNxjOghfbwME1jE2MwetOs7WPnVoES-LtRM6dN7xrCZea6L4uSEat4r8x8wqzjJys8uUFVNkgL7cAZjstbGBF5yc_eI6OFJMzPiQ/s320/DSC_0021.JPG)
And just a touch more so all the unfinished edges are together.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRCwCAt6UIbCFeYN-cegH-NxgKXua5A_mX3sivZEP92ogQE6SFxzinR0imQ8XI7xJ27XqwnRfCjgUxsB0HIC12fpnldz7qMOZUkE6wPuBfAWQiOKRV_ADQNXoMehElYSsw7-X3cqncZQA/s320/DSC_0026.JPG)
Move that same piece to the sewing machine, place your foot on three layers of fabric (2 cuff, 1 leg) and sew all the way around (line up the right edge of your presser foot with rough edges).
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMQhniju1y9xSLf2RxTM4kc5768QagpAm9__jhb473VxgMH7KaRZ9bpUPVhVl3dyEVsmmj4nFDKtDl6vJxGXtaiHQozVpRpRbQebnSZ6UqeVvzmwDzsjWfj0bqa-UaXQsjbIXKfTatFAo/s320/DSC_0027.JPG)
Since the cuff is a little smaller than the leg, you can pull on the cuff to stretch it a bit while you sew. (Don't stretch the bottom layer.)
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMWMIbuwU0k1h7eT_66heAuZMRTjDrdvbPS_-oypo7SGg8birsCgwdmj1kWiXydsC8e-FPGadXkndoGz2FGzV-m9Lp43lUJyl5dtr9fOGvIDklHzseV4yrM91qtkbiPEc1aVAsKgeEUac/s320/DSC_0032.JPG)
Once you have made it all the way around, go around one more time, this time sew right on the rough edge.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHlrcsqo1zkjgVibu3ANY5mZisaw4Ev_dsQpRGw1cc4zMbjz58fgFxQOyjhyn_Fcz531Z83srN4aLZyK4-jgUN4ag26V9QufM3zYNrflz97QHAjcOMhVp4gNTlgN-RRNTvlhU3PHFvydA/s320/DSC_0089.JPG)
This is what it will look like.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieRFhwt7QkZJfiIMHSw0hImIIPd3TCQW7y9NyACmmgHNHK3v14HNfGkWZSvX25sSyv6tZvoeEfIYtFVWZREP4kh4h9AiISgDyDeGiF4He59oDjLxEJpQauVJIIIwSNCSvGT7P1TKhURIM/s320/DSC_0090.JPG)
Flip out that cuff.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiARXJIazcM0aZsKsfZv75bxTRcONXoryyrnIxrRXQL_snLjINcsW-kb-MYq1X_oOWYlLB2DC1a2mPcPgz4Ub2aDb6Ov9Ahvu651KwRSrfDCMJ_dFekfsBbkeknzPA4MbDf5vB2VfoP3zo/s320/DSC_0093.JPG)
Now turn it right side out.

Toss those little scraps and WALAA!!!

You made BABYLEGS!!!
The blue pair were made exactly the same way, I just cut the sock a little higher above the ankle than the green sock for a shorter BABYLEG.
Let me know what you think and if you need clarification I can do that too!
