Product Description
What more fun could you have with your knitting machine than knitting pants?! These pants are so cute and comfy that you won’t be able to resist cozying up with them. Perfect for lounging or staying warm during those cool Winter days, they will be the comfiest and most in demand pants that you own.
These pants are such a blast to make, and even if you are a beginner to machine knitting, I’ve got you covered! This 13 page pattern is full of photos and detailed instructions walking you through every step to ensure you will have an easy breezy time making these pants no matter your skill level.
These pants have a slim but relaxed fit, and if you want them to fit more like leggings, you can make them a size down. The waistband is knitted at a smaller tension so that it will be snug on your waist and there will be no need to insert elastic.
I’ve also got a video tutorial walking you through every step! Link is in the pattern.
"Cozy Up With Me" Pants Machine Knitting Pattern
What Is Being Made
"Cozy Up With Me" Pants is a machine knitting pattern designed by Lauren Riker for creating custom-fitted trousers and leggings. This downloadable PDF pattern offers eleven size options ranging from 24 inches to 44 inches in waist circumference, making it suitable for various body types and preferences. The pattern is classified as a beginner-level project, making it accessible to knitters new to machine knitting garment construction.
Techniques and Construction Methods
This pattern is specifically designed for machine knitting using a mid-gauge knitting machine. The designer used an LK-150 mid-gauge knitting machine to create the samples, demonstrating the equipment needed for this project. The pattern includes detailed tension and gauge instructions to help knitters adjust their machine settings appropriately. Tension adjustments are provided as MT (main tension) with plus or minus dial adjustments noted, allowing flexibility for knitters using different machine models and dial numbering systems.
Stitches and Stitch Patterns
The primary stitch used throughout this pattern is Stockinette Stitch, a fundamental and versatile knit stitch that creates a smooth, classic fabric texture. Stockinette Stitch is ideal for garment construction as it provides excellent drape and a polished appearance suitable for everyday wear pants and leggings.
Gauge Information
Achieving proper gauge is essential for this pattern to fit correctly. The specified gauge is 19 stitches and 27 rows equal 4 inches in Stockinette Stitch, which converts to 4.75 stitches and 6.75 rows per 1 inch. The designer achieved this gauge using tension setting T5.5 on the LK-150 machine. Knitters should swatch and adjust their machine tension as needed to match this gauge before beginning the full project.
Materials Required
This pattern calls for Worsted Weight Yarn in quantities ranging from 800 to 1,350 yards (730 to 1,235 meters) depending on the size selected. The yardage increases with each size increment to accommodate the larger dimensions.
