Babies’ Crawlers
Dear Aunt Daisy, In reply to "M.P.," Kaiapoi, about clothing crawling babies in the winter, this is what I did for my little girl, now just over 2. I unpicked 2 old cardi-| gans, a green and a brown, and made 2 pairs of. legginettes with feet, one of | each colour. Then I collected odd scraps of wool and made 2 striped jumpers, one with green as the main colour and the other brown. I did the stripes in garter stitch, and the main colour in stocking stitch, which made the stripes stand out, and they looked very bright | and pretty. The legginettes had elastic | at the tops and braces of wide tape threaded through the elastic holes at the front. The ends were passed over the shoulders and threaded through the | holes at the back and then tied. This | prevents the legginettes slipping down | when the baby crawls. A pair of socks | or bootees under the legginettes will keep the feet warm. I found that slippers just wouldn’t stay on.
