Baby leggings.......unisex

?

I think a baby boy could wear these with a diaper. and be dapper. Do you?

Can these only be given to a baby girl? I could be on the verge of a real social blunder, so let me know.
Save me the embarassment.

This is my taking a break from the ruffle project. Leftover yarns. 48 stitches on 1's. Rib the first ten rows.
Knit ten rows in the round then change colors. Repeat until you have 7 alternate color sections after the ribbing. Then rib in 2x2
10 more rows. Bind off.

Then give them to a baby ..........even if it is a boy.....
set me straight here please, if I am wrong.


I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

My 6'6" very macho son-in-law asked me for some leg warmers like the ones I knitted for GD#3 for Christmas. He wears them under his trousers when he works outside in the winter. I think what's good enough for macho-man is good enough for baby boy!

On the other hand, some Dads have very strong feelings about what their baby boys wear.

That's a wishy-washy answer isn't it? LOL!

I'd have no problem putting them on my baby boy, but since he's 34, he might have something to say about it....

They'd be great for a baby that crawls; you could even stuff some padding around the knees.

I think they are gender-neutral too. I just wouldn't make them hot pink for a boy.

Leg warmers on any baby is fabulous. And I think those are great boy colors. They are really wonderful when folks start crawling and diaper changes are soooo much easier than pants.

I think they work for both baby boys and girls.

I say it depends on the parents, because the child doesn't have any idea of fashion rights/wrongs. Thank goodness!

As for me, they make such sense I have a hard time understanding the issue. I think all humans in places that have central heat, should have a standard clothing item called legwarmers.

But I'm known for having strong opinions. And I have worn legwarmers, in or out, since the 70's.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
