Legwarmers for an 8 years old performed on a 30 something years old. Cast on 56 stitches and knit on two needles size 5. The rope pattern in the middle takes 16 stitches. Yarn: Austermann Inka, wool and alpaca.
I made these jeans for the little guy, I sewed them out of my old ones. I cut the front parts together with the "ready made" button part, I also left all the original decorative seams and sew the pieces together just next to them. In a similar way I inserted the original front pockets and reused the old belt.
I kind of want them to look like that it has been redone from the old jeans, that there is some wit in creating clothes but I also enjoyed hiding it and making up the way how to get closest to the original pair of jeans.Click on them to see them larger!

What can I say, you are really talented both in knitting and in reusing material. Just gorgeous.
these are amazing! When my kids get a little bigger I'm going to give this a go.
I meant the jeans, but the legwarmers are pretty fly.
Wow, these are awesome. I love how you can reuse something and make something new. It is a wonderful skill. He will look so cute in them. They have the perfect worn look...to think that people here pay hundreds of dollars to get that same look.
great job with them both! he's going to look cool with the jeans.
Thanks all, I cannot show you the little guy in jeans, they are still too big, perhaps next year?
