It is finally here! After many hours of editing, testing, knitting, "Little Johns" pattern is finally finished. I had the privilege of working with a wonderful group of testers on Ravelry who all happen to be cloth diapering mamas and experienced soaker/longie knitters. There input was so valuable in the finalization of this pattern! Thank you mamas! This pattern is rated Advanced Beginner/Intermediate.
Inspired by long johns my husband wore on our honeymoon as a joke, these unisex little pants are not only cute, but functional. Worked in 100% wool for wear over a cloth diaper, Little Johns will provide your wee one with warmth and comfort.
Worked seamlessly from the waistband down, in the round and then flat, they feature a twisted rib waistband, an I-cord drawstring, a backside flap with 2 large buttons + a smaller button, a gusset shaped with lifted increases, slightly tapered legs and a doubled cuff.
Little Johns also come with an optional striping sequence for the cuffs to mimic classic wool work socks, which are not shown in these photos...
Desperate times called for desperate measures; I had to give Lox the only treat I had to make him stand somewhat still.....you should have seen him when I pried that sticky lollipop from his hands!
