K 8 stitches past the marker in the back. Wrap and turn. P 16 s. Wrap and turn. (Remember to knit the wrap as shown in the video. Then k 12  s past the back marker and do another wrap and turn. P 24 s and do a wrap and turn. On the last short row K 16 s past the back marker before you wrap and turn. P 32 s. Wrap, turn and continue in stockinette. If you find all this too complicated you will be fine just knitting the whole pants a few rows taller.

Continue until you have 2” of stockinette (measured in the front) Now make some room for the nappy:

On the next round M1 on each side of the 2 s in the middle back. Increase in the same manner in the front. K one round. Repeat the last two rounds two more times. (=12 new s, 6 in the back and 6 in the front)

Then continue in stockinette for another 0.4” before binding off the middle 8 stitches both in the back and front. Knit each leg separately, in the round.

Change to US 4 DPN´s . Continue in stockinette around each leg until the leg measures 6” from the binding off edge. Then in the next round decrease 8 s evenly by K2tog 8 times. (= 28 s left on your needle) Change to US 2,5 DPN´s and do a 4” ribbing, k2, p2. Bind off very loosely.
