It’s
time… Make Pants (and Shorts and Capris and Soakers) That Fit Perfectly.
Our fully-illustrated, in-depth,
slightly wordy instructions take you step-by-step through a bunch of math and a
variety of customization options. Using age-old Gansey Gusset Technology and a
traditional Gansey cast on we broaden our horizons as knitters while creating
functional, wearable art for our cloth-diapered babes.
In order to do this project you need the following skills: Long
tail cast on, knitting, purling, increasing, and a basic understanding of the
“short rows” concept. If these daunt you, consider starting with our
WonderPants or SportyPants patterns and move up to P-Pants after you’ve had some
practice.
Materials:
-
Any weight hand-wash or dry-clean 100% wool yarn. You may also consider blends
of animal fibers such as mohair, llama and alpaca.
-
For the top part of
the pants: 12” or 16” circular needle appropriate for your yarn weight (Newborn
or preemie sized pants may require double points, two circs, or a long circ,
depending on the method you choose for knitting a small circumference item.)
-
For the ribbed waistband: a needle two sizes smaller than your main needles.
-
For the legs:
double pointed needles, two circs, or a long circ, depending on the method you
choose for knitting a small circumference item.

A couple of small
spare double pointed needles for grafting.

Crochet hook to
match your yarn weight.
