A provisional cast-on is used to begin the waistband as well as at the crotch. It is recommended that the waistband is closed around the prepared elastic but, if preferred, elastic can be inserted at the end, before blocking, by lacing it through the channel. Cut elastic to length of waist circumference plus 2cm / ¾" for overlapping seam. To lengthen the inseam, work additional rounds of Corrugated Rib at the cuffs to achieve desired length.
