Notes

I wanted a high waistband so I started with #2.5 needles and used 1x1 ribbing. Made less increases in hips and crotch. Upper thigh was too big for me but I was concerned I would run out of yarn if I ripped outInstead of decreasing every 3rd row, I changed it to every other row. Decreased until I had 62 sts. and continued straight.

My inseam is 21” finished before washing and blocking. I am going to try to block it so it is longer and narrower in hips and in the upper thigh.

I am going to try to knit the next pair in DK weight and small needles.

This project requires lots of decisions in sizing to be made

Very cute!
