Purl Stitch Baby Pants

**Designed in Kelbourne Woolens Cozy, a delightfully soft easy-care blend of superwash merino and and easy care alpaca**, these sweet baby pants are practical and comfy, designed to move with squishy baby legs and diapered bums. Each leg is worked in the round from the cuff up, then joined to work the seat. Increases are worked to shape the bum, then a nice deep ribbing shapes the waist. **Specifications YARN** Kelbourne Woolens Cozy (70% superwash Merino wool, 30% Baby Alpaca Easy Wash; 201 yds/100 gm skein): 375 mint, 1 (2, 2, 2) skeins. **GAUGE** 23 sts and 32 rnds = 4" (10 cm) in Purl Stitch Pattern on larger needles, after blocking. **NEEDLES** 1 – 16" US 2 (2.75 mm) circular. 1 set – US 2 (2.75 mm) DPNs. 1 – 16" US 4 (3.75 mm) circular. 1 set – US 4 (3.75 mm) DPNs. *Take time to check gauge and adjust needle size(s) accordingly.* **NOTIONS** Tapestry needle, 2 stitch markers. **SIZE** To Fit NB (0–3, 3–6, 6–12, 12–18) months.
