The perfect pants for kindergarten! Easy to take on and off, and with the ribbed sections in the sides and waist, the pants fit snugly underneath the outerwear. Add on the fact that the pants can be knit with the kid’s favourite character and colours, and you are almost guaranteed success. So gather up your needles and colourful scrap yarn and get knitting!

The pants are knit bottom up, the legs first knit separately, then joined together for the waist. The ribbed section of the waist is folded double, with an elastic waistband sewn in, to ensure that the pants stay on.

I have added an attachment of diagrams to the pattern, which will help you design your own unique version of the sweater. The short row mouth in front is knit in contrast colour. There are diagrams of the mouth for each size, and you can then draw on your nose, eyes and other details.

I have also drawn more than a hundred face diagrams, ready for you to use! You find them in the albums in the Facebook knit-along group:

So if you are looking for Totoro, baby shark or Chase from Paw Patrol, look no further!

Sizes range from 3 months up to 8 years, with instructions on how to make adjustments to ensure a good fit.

Gauge 22 sts per 10 cm allows for a wide range of yarns to be used. You probably have some single skeins and small scraps just lying about (I sure do). And now you found the perfect project for it.
