What more fun could you have with your knitting machine than knitting pants?! These pants are so cute and comfy that you won’t want to wear anything else. Perfect for lounging around in or staying warm during the Winter, they will be the 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.

This design is totally customizable with options to adjust the length, knit the ribbing on the machine or after by hand, make the waistband as long as you like, and add optional eyelets for a drawstring. 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.

If you need any help with the steps in the pattern, I’ve also got a video tutorial walking you through every step! Check it out here: https://youtu.be/WwexHlBjn3o

Enjoy!
