Sommarblomster - Baby Pants

The Sommarblomster (Summer Flowers) pants are knitted with flower patterns on the legs (following written instructions). They are
worked in the round, from the bottom up, with each leg worked separately. The pieces are then joined and knitted in the round in
stockinette. Finally, they are finished with a picot edging at the waist.

STITCHES AND TECHNIQUES

Markers: Place marker between two stitches and slide to right needle as you come to each. Pm = place marker; sl m = slip marker
M1R = make 1 right: With left needle, lift strand between 2 sts from back to front and knit into front loop = right-leaning increase.
M1L = make 1 left: With left needle, lift strand between 2 sts from front to back and knit into back loop = left-leaning increase.
[ ] = repeat

German Short Rows: Double st (DS): The double stitch or German short rows is a turning method that does not leave holes at each turn.
Work to st where work will be turned. Sl 1 purlwise wyf, firmly pull yarn backwards over right needle so you flip st and have 2 stitch legs or a
double stitch (DS) on the needle; work rem sts on needle.
After working the specified number of short rows, you will join the double sts one at a time. Work to 1st DS, knit or purl it in pattern,
catching both legs of DS to make 1 st.
It will help you keep track of the double sts if you place a marker at each so you can count them and minimize the danger of missing one as
you continue knitting.

Rnds 14-19: Stockinette.

Now the pattern is set up. Rep Rnds 4-19, being careful to place pattern correctly in relation to the new sts from the increases. There should
be 6 sts between each flower and the flowers should be placed correctly over each other.
Continue in pattern, increasing on each side of beginning of rnd.
The first increase is worked on Row 2 of pattern. Work increases into pattern when possible.
Increase a total of 3 (4, 6, 7, 8, 6, 10) times with approx. 1 (¾, ⅝, ⅝, ¾, 1⅜, ¾) in / 2.5 (2, 1.5, 1.5, 2, 3.5, 2) cm between each increase rnd = 44
(46, 50, 52, 54, 60, 68) sts.

Continue as est until leg measures 4¾ (5½, 6¼, 7, 8¾, 9¾, 11) in / 12 (14, 16, 18, 22, 25, 28) cm above foldline.

Place sts on holder and make second leg the same way.

JOIN LEGS FOR BODY

NOTE Continue working in stockinette without flower pattern.
Joining:
With circular, knit sts of one leg and then CO 4 (5, 4, 5, 5, 5, 4) sts between legs and pm around center st of those just cast on or between 2
sts in middle of last cast-on sts, depending on which size you are knitting.
Knit sts of second leg and then CO 4 (5, 4, 5, 5, 5, 4) sts between legs and pm around center st of those just cast on or between 2 sts in middle
of last cast-on sts, depending on which size you are knitting.
Marker now indicates beginning of round (bor) = 96 (102, 108, 114, 118, 130, 144) sts total.
Knit 4 rnds in stockinette.

Now decrease for gusset:

Sizes 1 (4, 6, 9) months: K1 (marked st), k2tog, knit to next marker, sl 1, k1, psso, k1, 2tog, knit until 2 sts before next marker, sl 1, k1, psso.
Rem sizes (premature, 2, 12 months): K1, k2tog, knit to next marker, sl 1, k1, psso, k2, k2tog, knit until 3 sts before next marker, sl 1, k1,
psso, k1.
Sizes 9 (12) months: Decrease another 2 (1) times on every other rnd.
Now you can remove markers but not for bor.
Sizes 1 (2, 4) months: Decrease another 2 sts by working decreases only on the front = 92 (96, 102, 108, 114, 118, 136) sts rem.
Knit around in stockinette until piece, from crotch, measures 3½ (4, 4¼, 5¼, 5½, 6, 6) in / 9 (10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 15) cm.
Now shape with short rows:

SHORT ROWS
Row 1 (RS): Pm 23 (24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 34) sts from bor out to each side, knit until 3 sts before marker 2; turn; DS.
Row 2 (WS): Purl until 3 sts before marker on other side; turn, DS.
Row 3: Knit until 6 sts before marker; turn, DS.
Row 4: Purl until 6 sts before marker on other side; turn; DS.
Continue the same way, turning with 3 fewer sts each time until you’ve turned a total of 5 times on each side. Knit to end of rnd.
Knit around in stockinette for ¾ in / 2 cm.
Next Rnd: *Yo, k2tog*; rep * to * around.
Knit around in stockinette for ¾ in / 2 cm.

Fold edging at eyelet rnd and use Kitchener st to sew down live to sts on needle, but, BO last 6 sts as usual so you can pull elastic through
casing.

Draw elastic cord through casing and sew down the 6 bound-off sts on WS with duplicate st.

FINISHING
Fold and sew down picot edgings on legs to WS and sew down with duplicate st.
Seam crotch.
Weave in all ends neatly on WS.

Tips & Shortcuts

To avoid questions: Before you begin knitting, read through the pattern.
Stitch count: Always knit or crochet a gauge swatch as recommended in the pattern. If your stitch count doesn’t match the gauge given in
the pattern, try again with larger or smaller needles or hook. If your gauge doesn’t match that in the pattern, your item will not be the
correct size or shape.
Highlight the size you will knit or crochet throughout the pattern to make it easier to follow the instructions.
Charts: It will be easier to follow a chart if you mark your row with a ruler and magnetic board or sticky note.
Ease: The amount of ease included in our garments varies depending on the type and shape of the garment. To determine the right size, we
recommend that you first measure your body. Then you can calculate the garment size depending on how much ease you want the
garment to have. The schematics for each piece show all the garment measurements.
Two-color stranded knitting: When knitting more than 3-4 stitches of the same color, twist the color strands around each other on the
wrong side to avoid long strands or “floats” on the back. If the yarns need to be twisted on several rows/rounds, make sure you do not stack
the twists in the same place to prevent the yarns from showing through on the right side.
Yarn alternative: Please be aware that the gauge (tension), yarn quantity and the shape of the work varies if you use another yarn (even in
the same yarn group).
Tips för hand dyed yarn: Make sure you have enough yarn to complete your project. The colors may vary from time to time. To get a smooth
color mix, you can alternate between two skeins: knit two rows from one and two rows from another skein.
