After doing some reading online, I went to Target and bought ladies' knee socks at $4/pair to
make baby legwarmers. I am hoping these will be an affordable alternative to the $12 variety I'd originally registered for. In photos two and three, see the results of my ultra-quick foray into the land of baby legwarmers. I cut off the foot of the sock right before it started to curve (easy to see on striped socks!), salvaged the straight portion of the foot, folded that in half, and attached that as "ribbing" (not an accurate term, since it's in the same knit as the body of the sock) to the cut edge of my socks. This yielded an icky bulge but was otherwise very efficient and satisfying. Now I will keep my eyes open for cute, cheap knee socks!
