When I crochet, I tend to figure it out as I go, using what I have in my stash. Here is what I did and hope you can follow…
Baby Boy Crochet Infant Leg Warmers Pattern
Hook size H
Worsted Weight Yarn in both Variegated and solid colors
(I used Great Value Bernat 100% acrylique, color: Natures Way variegated and Coats & Clark TLC Cotton Plus medium Worsted Color: Cream)
These yarns are medium weight and not as thick as some worsted weight yarns (like Vanna’s Choice) The leg warmers are soft and flexible for a newborn.
Color A: Cream for cuffs
Color B: Variegated for middle of leg warmer
Make 2
Beginning at the bottom of the leg Warmer
With color A (cream), ch 23 loosely
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. ch 1, turn (22 sc)
Row 2: 1 sc in each across. ch 1, turn (22 sc)
Row 3: Working in back loops, sc in each sc across. ch 1, turn (22 sc)
Row 4: Working in both loops, sc in each across. ch 1, turn. (22 sc)
Row 5: sc in each sc across. Change to Color B (Variegated) ; Ch 1, turn (22 sc) (cut thread of color A)
Row 6: sc in each sc across. ch 1, turn (22 sc)
Row 7-10: work even
Row 11: 1 sc in the next 10 sc; 2 sc in the next sc; 1 sc in the next 11 sc. Ch 1, turn (23 sc)
Row 12-19: work even
Row 20: 1 sc in the next 11 sc; 2 sc in the next sc; 1 sc in the next 11 sc. Change to Color A (Cream). Ch 1, turn (24 sc) Leave a length of yard to sew edge seam.
Row 21: work even (24 sc)
Row 22-23: work even
Row 24: working in front loops, sc in each across. Ch 1, turn (24 sc)
Row 25: working in both loops, work even
Row 26-27: work even. Finish off leaving a length of yarn to sew edge seam
Using a yarn needle threaded with the length of yarn and keeping the top cuff turned down and the bottom cuff turned up, stitch the leg warmer closed. I matched the yarn when sewing, cream to sew the cuffs and variegated to sew the center. When finished sewing, knot and clip all ends.
NOTE: this pattern can be made by crocheting in rounds rather than rows eliminating a seam. This just happens to be the way I crocheted this time, but next time I will work in rounds.

Update: Here is baby Jethro Ross wearing his going home from the hospital outfit.
UPDATE
I made another hat and added ear flaps
Adding ear flaps to newborn crochet beanie
You will want the ear flaps to be slightly more toward the back of the hat than the front so use your judgement for placement.
Attach yarn; 6 Single crochet across edge; turn.
Row one:
Ch 1. sc decrease 1st two stitches, single crochet in next 2 stitches, sc decrease last two stitches. (4)
Row 2:
Chain one turn, single crochet across (4)
Row 3:
ch 1, turn. 2 sc decreases (two)
Row 4:
ch 1. Turn. 2 sc
Row 5:
ch 1 turn. Sc decrease. End off, knot ends and trim.
Attach yarn at brim edge and work a row of sc along ear flap edge to give finished look. Add braided ties.

Oh, my goodness, if those are not the cutest and he'll be a little Prince all wrapped up in his leg warmers, blankets and beanie. What a treasure!
Happy weekend!
What a beautiful coming home package, please share pictures of the new baby in all his finery!
Such a beautiful little set. He will look very snugly in these. How exciting to have a new baby arriving very soon 🙂
I cannot wait to see him lovingly dressed in these pieces. You are very talented.
Oh, so darling. There's going to be a little one coming home from the hospital in February in our family. If this Nana gets going now, she might finish these before then! Thanks for the tutorial.
what an adorable set that is. He's going to look so cute in that
I love all of the items that you made! Wonderful color combinations!
and they look so soft!
Very cute! Lovin' the pom-pom:@)
Did you feel your blog being jumped on and off this morning? !! We were in our mentor planning meeting and are teaching crocheting next month to our younger women and are probably doing your infinity scarf. Thank you so much for all your inspiration and instructions! And when I turned on your blog and saw this super sweet post with the leg warmers !!! How fun. We all "oohed and ahh-ed." Have a good weekend!
Good morning! Goodness this is just ADORABLE! LOVE them…they are so sweet. How blessed the new little one will be!
You have lightening fast fingers, I am still trying to learn the basic stitch. Picked up some yarn the other day.
He will look smashing in this set and photos.
You are blessed and so is he, with your faith in the Lord, he will never know a day when Christ is not real in his life.
