Baby/Toddler leggins

Shown on a 15 month old

Needle size 3 1/4 mm (straight needles..I don't use DPN's if I Don't have to)
size: one size (however I'm working on a newborn pair)
I used Cascade wool...(pink and brown)

**gauge** 16 rows and 12 stitches = 2"

please, I am a beginner pattern writer, so if there is anything wrong with this pattern, please just let me know and I'll try and fix it up!!

**Attention** what may happen (happened to me while knitting these) is that I may have written 'knit' when you have to 'purl'(vice versa) .Basically it is all in stockinette, so you'll have to use your brain a little :D if you do notice a mistake, please let me know and I'll fix it

K=Knit
P=Purl
MC=Pink
