    using open edge method and dial/gauge 2. Work 8 rows. Reset row counter to 4.
    Lift the hem towards you, being careful not to lose any sts, and hang the cast on sts
    into the open latches above (2 sts in each needle). Knit the next row carefully.
  2. Leg shaping. Dec 1 st at each end of next row, then every following 8th row 3 times,
    until 73 sts remain. Work even to total 32 rows. COR.
  3. Crotch shaping. Cast off 3 sts at beg of next 2 rows. Dec 1 st at each end of next
    row.
  4. Work short rows for back bottom shaping as follows. Place 33 left hand needles in
    HP. Knit 2 rows. *Put 2 more needles to HP. Knit 2 rows.* Repeat from * to * 11 times
    more.
  5. Hips to waist. Place all needles back in WP/FWP again. Work even to total 92 rows
    (at back). COR.
  6. Waistband. (Instructions following are for rib. Optionally work lace holes, garter
    stitch, elastic casing, etc. ) Change to dial/gauge 1.5. Decrease 18 sts evenly
    across the row to 47 sts. Work 4 rows in 1x1 rib. Cast off loosely using backstitch.

PANTS RIGHT LEG:

  1. Work as for left leg, reversing back bottom shaping. (i.e. work short rows at left side
    of bed.)

SUSPENDERS (Optional):

  1. Make two the same. Cast on 6 sts (for I-cord) or 5 sts (for rib) in MY, using closed
    edge method and dial/gauge 1.5. Work even in plain knit (for I-cord) or 1x1 rib for
    56 rows, or until the length is sufficient, when slightly stretched, to reach from the
    bottom of the waistband at the front, over the shoulders, and to the back waistband.
    Cast off.

FINISHING:

  1. Sew center crotch seam, then inside leg seams. Sew in all loose ends.
  2. Sew suspenders inside the waistband, close to the center. You may want to cross
    the suspenders, or stitch them together in the center of the back. Accent with
    buttons, lapel pins, or decorative stitches.
