Pattern Overview:

Starting Loop:

Begin by making a starting loop and place it on your knitting needles.

Casting On:

Cast on 44 stitches. Count the starting loop as 1 stitch, so you will have a total of 45 stitches.

Joining:

Cast on another 45 stitches for a total of 90 stitches. This will create the front and back of the pants. Join your work to start knitting in the round.

First Row:

Knit the first row. This yarn can be slippery, so knitting the first row can help with grip.

Ribbing:

For the next six rows, work in a knit 1, purl 1 rib pattern.

Body of the Pants:

After completing the ribbed band, continue with knit stitches only for the next 9 inches to create the main body of the pants.

Dividing Stitches:

Ensure you still have 90 stitches. Then, find the midpoint (45th stitch) and transfer half of the stitches (45) onto another set of circular needles or a stitch holder. This will separate the legs.

Knitting the Leg:

With one set of the stitches (45), continue knitting in the round to create the first leg. Knit to your desired length.

Casting On for Crotch Area:

To create the crotch area, cast on 25 stitches (or adjust based on the total stitches/2 for your project size).

Continue Knitting:

Keep knitting in the round until you reach the desired leg length, then cast off.

Second Leg:

Move to the second set of 45 stitches. Similar to the first leg, weave in yarn to create 25 additional stitches for the crotch area using a hook (if needed, refer to the description in the text for creating the illusion of casting on without actual casting).
