looking for infant pants pattern

[Guest aprilmoonflower]

i am looking for a pattern for crocheted pants with/without feet in size 6-12mo. i've checked around all my usual places to get patterns online but can't seem to find any!

You're welcome, Bagpipes. It's my pleasure. :grouphug

They fit my doll and he's about the size of a 3 to 6 month old, but, I think it would be easy enough to make them larger if needed. If you want, I'll take some measurements tomorrow.

[Guest aprilmoonflower]

btw-Dot, what size are these pants? (if you remember offhand)

 

did you crochet the sweater too btw? if so would you be willing to share the pattern?

[Guest aprilmoonflower]

the wool works great for cloth diapering! (for covers) it repels water and doesn't need washing all that often, though you do need to lanolize them every once in a while! I definitly will send you a pic when they are done! Thanks again!

Thank you. I hadn't thought of a diaper cover in wool! Great idea! I'd love to see a picture when you're done. :camera

[Guest aprilmoonflower]

oh wow these look great! THANK YOU so much Dot I appreciate this so much! we are using cloth diapers on my ds and these will work great crocheted in wool (serving double duty as pants and diaper cover in the cooler months)

mythunderbird, I bet that'll look really cute. The panda sweater sounds adorable! :cloud9

hi dot, thanks for sharing that pattern, sounds adorable. i have been wanting to make some more stuff for the teenage pregnancy crisis clinic. they give all of the stuff that is donated to these young mothers and the girls are so appreciative. that sounds like it would be great with my hooded sweater pattern(well not mine, but one i make all of the time:lol ) its really cute. got it out of crochet fantasy and the issue is november 1995, i wore my first one out and had to buy one off of e-bay. finally found one too!! got it today. it is a little panda bear sweater that zips up the back. thank you again, you are soooo sweet:clap . have a great night vicki:))

Thanks for sharing this adorable pattern, Dot.

Thanks so much, Dot! You are an angel. I'll also post links for your blog and photos. Thanks again! )

Yes, of course you may use this pattern for your charity group. It would be my little contribution to a worthy cause.

A couple of little suggestions on the pattern:

1. if you want to make it longer from waist to crotch, just keep adding rows before you start the legs.

2. if you want the legs to be "footed" leave off the ribbing on the bottom of the legs and stitch a seam across the bottom. you may want to do a few decrease rounds before you seam the leg bottom closed.

Dot, can I share this pattern with the charity group I crochet for?

Native American Support It's exactly the kind of stuff we like to make for the Native Americans at the Cheyenne River Reservation at Eagle Butte, SD.

 

I'd post it exactly as you've posted it here with your copy right and all. Or alternately, is it on your blog so I can send people there?

 

They are very cute, BTW, and as usual I stand in awe of your ability to "just make it up"! I can do a lot that way once I see how things are constructed, but generally have to follow a pattern the first time around. )

i also have several patterns of baby britches.... i've gotten most of them as the little freebie patterns that hang in front of the yarn shelves.....

 

anyhow, let me know if any of these are needed.

[bythehook]

OOPS! I posted this in the wrong place, sorry!

Here's the pattern. It's untested and it's so long ago since I wrote it, I'm not sure I can answer any questions but I'd give it a try if I could. Can't post pictures because there's something wrong with photobucket. Sorry.
