FRIDA PANTS CHILDREN
ABOUT THE WORK
Frida Pants Children are perfect for keeping little legs warm in everyday life!
The recipe is created for children aged 1-5 years.
It is both fun and easy to knit.
With a focus on comfort and durability, the pants are perfect for active toddlers. The wide legs, drawstring at the waist and an extra detail on the knee give the pants character.
Use your yarn scraps and create a unique piece of clothing that children and adults will love.
The trousers are knitted from the top down on 6mm circular needles, preferably 40cm long. Reverse rows are made on the back to make the trousers higher at the back. Then increases are made, also on the back. Then the legs are finished one at a time. On the knee, a “patch” is knitted in purl stitches. The legs are wide and finished with a rib edge that tightens them at the feet.
