In general these leggings are cute, but I think the yarn needs to be a more lighter weight yarn for a baby of this size. These leg warmers just look too bulky for this baby. A very lightweight yarn such as a #1 or even maybe a thread would look a lot better. The stitching pattern is cute. Great idea for a baby girl.
