These longies (or shorties) are knit from the waistband down, and except for a bit of kitchener stitch to join the gusset between the legs, are seamless. As they were originally designed to fit over cloth diapers, there are short rows knit across the bum in the wool version. However, if you would like your little one to wear these as regular pants or over disposable diapers, I’ve included instructions for a washable cotton version as well.

This pattern is all about choices & variations, and with nine different leg cuff variations alone, I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Want butt ruffles & rolled leg cuffs? Got that! Want moss stitch leg cuffs & a duplicate stitch heart motif? Got that! Want stripy pants & a ribbed leg cuff with ribbon & eyelets? Got that too! So dig in your stash & let’s get knitting!

Includes hip increases, short rows & a gusset for a great fit!

All of my patterns have been professionally tech edited and extensively test knitted.

This pattern is also available for your Kindle through Amazon!
