Instructions
Starting with a 84 (96) 108 chain, join the fist st with the last with a sl st,
R1 : 1 dc in every st of the row
R2 : 2 dc in the first st, 1 dc in the next 5 st in the row,*2 dc in next st, 1 dc in the 6th st* rep until the end of the row. Total 98(112) 126.
R3 : 1 dc in every st of the row, 1 sl st.
R(4-16) (4-18) (4-20) : 1 dc in every st of the row.
R17 (19) (21) : 1 dc in the first 49(56)(63) st, join with a sl st the first and the last st.
R (18-31)(20-35)(22-39) : 1 dc in every st of the row, sl st.
R(32)(36)(40) : 1 dc in the first st, decrease ( 2dctog), 1 dc in each of the next sts, 1 decrease in the last st, Fasten off
Now for the other leg, attach your yarn to the first st in the crotch (from behind), then work 1 dc in the first st of the opposite, then 1 dc all around.
Now that the first row is done, repeat the exact same steps that we did for the first leg.
Note: you will notice that there is a small hole in the cratch, we will sew it later.
Ribbing
We are going to add the ribbing on the waist and both legs
Starting with legs:
For our little pants we should start with 11 ch, then in the second chain from the hook make 1 sc, 1sc across the 9 ch
Join with the last row of the leg using a sl st.
work back through the back loop only of the 9 sts again, repeat this process all around the leg’s edge. Fasten off and weave the ends.
Repeat those steps for the other leg.
Back to the waist to make the ribbing, attach your yarn in the center of the side that you want to be the front of the pants, in that way the join will be in the back.
We will work with the exact steps as the legs ribbing, except that here we will start with 13 ch, and we will leave small holes for the i-cord, so every 6 rows we will do the following:
If it’s a row where you start from the bottom, work the first 5 st, ch 1, sk a st, then continue with sc in the back loops only.
If it’s a row where you start from the top, work the first 6 st, ch 1, sk a st, then continue with sc in the back loops only.
Sew the join.
