Sister and Bro-i-l gave me Marti’s A Handy Knitting Library.Told my Bro-i-l I was going to knit him a grown up version of the Tyrolean Sweater-and-Panty Set and he called my bluff. The result - grown up Dr. Who Panties for Mike.

Mods:

No Trunk - Added small front pocket-opening instead.
Started this when separated for front and back. Start this a bit earlier next time - perhaps at beg of hex pattern.

Back side -
Row 1: (p) bo 10 1st side, dec 4 at end
Row 2: (k) bo 10 other side, dec 4 at end - odd rows p
Row 4: dec 3 each side
Row 6, 8, 10: dec 2 each side
Starting row 12 - on even rows dec 1 each side 12 times for 35 rows

3 needle bind off for seam of front/back

Legs - puk 104; 5 rounds k2p2 rib; bo

Used a twisted cord for a cinch.

Things noted:
You can see where I started knitting the pattern - the middle of the back. So, you can see where the pattern changes to the next row in the pattern B hexagons.
Next time, start the pattern at the side (center of question mark) where you will divide for front and back.

For the first two hexagon pattern rows, I used continental with ivory and english with navy. Looks much better with navy continental and ivory english.

When purling, keep both colors continental-
both colors on top of index finger,
navy (color of design) closer to hand, under middle finger and over ring finger,
ivory (background) closer to finger tip, over middle finger, under ring finger,
then wrapped around little finger together (as a last step rather than how you would normally wrap your pinky up first).
