[Kristie]

I am seeking a womens knickerbocker pattern. I have scoured the web and all the usual sites but to no avail:think ....Can anyone help please???

[snugsmontreal]

[snugsmontreal]

i found these on CPC women's pants and shorts section

i found them here http://200.62.22.148/directory/womens_shorts_pants.php

[Feywalker]

there was a pattern for crochet knickers on Stargazer's site. I can't get the women's link to work to find it though. I'll try to find you a link when the links there are up again.

I am better informed now. The novice has read the rules! Thanks for the tip.

Your links aren't working because it's barred from this forum due to copyright issues.

Read the rules, especially number 9:

The original groovy crochet site is gone and now only available through the wayback web archive. http://*****************/web/20010405162305/www.groovycrochet.com/index.html

I found a knicker pattern. I know I have seen another-- can't remember where. I will post it if I come across it. http://*****************/web/20010414015342/www.cei.net/~vchisam/groovy/gp-2h.html My only concern is I don't know if this pattern being on the internet is an infringement of copyright.

Try Groovy crochet site, they have a pair. Also, there is a book called Design Crochet by Dettrick which has a lovely set of Victorian underwear and the bottoms are knickerbockers. You may find the book in your library or in a second hand bookshop, it's a good few years old. Zaraliz

If anyone can convert or find this pattern in crochet I would love to make myself a pair! I had a 'knickerbocker' when I was little, but it was a stuffed animal! LOL:lol

[snugsmontreal]

here i found it for you, but like i said... it is knitted and although i do both i am not good at the conversion thing

Go back to the second link I gave you and see if there isn't a swimsuit pattern you can adapt.

Now that we know what knickerbockers are.....I am sorry to say that I am sure I have never seen a pattern for them.....not even a pattern that you have to buy, or anything in a magazine........your only option would be to find a pattern for pants and then modify it.

[Kristie]

Hi all,

Thank you all so much for attempting to find one.....Yes knickerbockers were originally a boys item of clothing in the 1900's. They are a pair of shorts basically that have a tight waste and cuff at the knee with flaired thighs. They are a trend in the fashion industry for women lately and I just wanted to make myself a pair with crochet....knit if I have too :|

The sew pattern link posted below is a good copy.....but I am hopless at sewing

[Jess.in.WI]

yes, see here:

Aren't knickerbockers the long shorts or short pants that boys used to wear? They would come to just below the knee and the sock would end under them. I think. Is that what you meant Kristie?

[Empress Busy Bee]

I think she means underware.

[mountainangel]

I've never heard of a knickerbocker. what is it?

I'm guessing you mean under things.

You're going to have to adapt some things.
