In Case You Want to Knit Some Lounge Pants

November 5, 2018 by Sarah White

knit pants patternI’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!

Have you read?

Knit a Hat with a Flock of Chickens

It’s well known (among knitters, anyway) that knitters seem to love chickens as a motif and a subject of our knitting projects. The Emotional Support Chicken and all the other chicken knitting patterns are just the beginning of our devotion to farmyard friends. 

For example, there’s Farmer Dennis’ Chicken Hat. This free pattern from Stacy Black is a simple worsted weight beanie sized for adults and decorate with a couple of little rounds of colorwork fences and a flock of chickens strutting around the body of the hat. 

You don’t need a lot of any of the colors for the chickens, their facial features or the fences, so this is a great project for using little leftover bits from other projects. The main color for the body of the hat is less than a skein using the yarn suggested, so you might just have everything you need in your house to start stitching up this hat right away. 

The colorwork is presented as a chart, with a 16 stitch section that repeats around the body of the hat. All the color changes are shown on the chart but I think it would be easier to knit the whole chicken in the chicken color and add the eye, beak and other features using duplicate stitch when the knitting is done. That way you don’t have to carry those yarns around the whole hat for just a few stitches. 

As the name suggests, the original hat was given to a farmer who shared their eggs, but anyone who raises chickens or just has a thing for the fowl is sure to love this cute hat. It wouldn’t be too difficult for someone new to stranded knitting or reading charts to make, either, so if that’s you, give it a try. 

The pattern is available for free on Ravelry.
