Everyday pants pattern

The pants are worked top-down on a circular needle. First, the rib is worked, and then the back piece is shaped with German short rows, creating extra length at the back. Increases are worked on both the front and back, and the work is then divided into two legs using a loop cast-on. The legs are finished separately, with i-cord eyelets and a folded hem shaped at the bottom of each leg. The i-cord tie is knitted and threaded through the folded edge. Finally, elastic is added to the rib, the crotch is sewn, and all ends are woven in.

It is knitted with negative around the waist and hips, and positive ease around the legs.

The pattern is digital, and will be sent through mail as a PDF. In the pattern you'll find guiding videos (which sends you to youtube).
