Cool kids´capris
These super soft pants are quite multifunctional. You can use them as pants when your kid is tiny, 0-12 m, and then as shorts the following year.
What we used
Circular and double pinted needles US 8
3 balls Sublime soya cotton
Gauge
17 s= 4"
How we did it
With the beige colour, cast on 78 stitches using the circular needles. Knit in the round.
Knit 1.8". On the next round, you´ll make two holes for the cord.
K 35, K2together, YO, K4, K2together, YO, K35.
Knit 0,5" more and switch to the light blue colour.
Knit 5 rounds before you switch colours to the darker blue. Keep on knitting 5 and 5 rounds of each colour.
We used an old technique to make jogless stripes between the colours like this:
Every time you change colours, you knit one round with the new colour. When you reach the first stitch of the new colour, you pick up the stitch below it and knit them as one.
Keep on knitting until the piece is 7,9".
Increase one stitch on each side of the three stitches in the middle at the back.
Do this every second round, 4 times in total.
Cast off the 5 stitches in the middle, in front and at the back of the piece.
Knit the first leg using the double pointed needles. Knit three stripes, 5 rounds= 1 stripe, and end the leg with 10 rounds of beige. Knit another leg, and you´re done.
Make the cord and you´re done!

Those little pants are the sweetest! Thank you for sharing :).
I love these little pants! I don't understand the pattern. How is the waist band made? Fold it over and sew it? Any details on the finishing would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi, Yes, you simply fold it in and sew it. :)
