I’ve only ever knit pants for babies (there’s a pattern in my book Quick and Easy Baby Knits). But this time of year, when it’s just starting to get cold, I start to feel like I’m going to want to be completely covered in knits really soon, and that includes wanting some knit pants.
This pattern, the Joost Pants from Lion Brand Yarn and designed by Vladimir Teriokhin, looks like a great, straightforward pattern. Rated easy+, the pattern is mostly Stockinette Stitch worked in the round from the top down, with a casing folded over and sewn down to hold a drawstring.
Worked in Jeans yarn, they look super comfy and like they wouldn’t take too long to knit even though pants are definitely a big project.
Have you ever knit pants? I’d love to hear about it!
I had knit camouflage pants for my youngest daughter years ago. I’m not sure but I think the pattern was a Lion Brand pattern. She found them while cleaning out and gave them to her daughter. My granddaughter wore them until they no longer fit and gave them back to me!
Oh how fun! I think this may be the year I make some!
