Bloom bloomers.

The bloomers are knitted top down. First, the waistband is knitted, then the back side is made longer and roomier by working short-rows. Next, the main part of the bloomers is worked, followed by the Back crotch and the front crotch gussets. Leg edges and a drawstring for the waistband are worked last.

Possible substitution: cotton, merino wool or blends with matching gauge.
