ABOUT PATTERN
The Solo Trousers are worked from the top down in the round
in 2x2 rib stitch. You will start your work with a provisional
cast-on, then insert the elastic into the waistband, then work
the body, the pockets and finally the legs.

SIZES
XS-S (M-L) XL-2XL
Sizes above correspond to the following measurements :
Waist: 58-63 (64-69) 79-94 cm
Hips: 86-92 (93-101) 102-109 cm
Measure your waist and hips circumference to determine which
size will fit you the best. If you are between two sizes, choose
the size down. You will be able to adjust the width of your pants
when blocking, but also according to the length of the waistband
elastic.
NOTE: The Solo Trousers in the photos above have been
blocked twice. After the first block I found that the legs were not
wide enough, so I blocked it a second time in order to get the
required width.

after blocking on page 7.

Needle size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches on
10 cm = 4”, change to a larger needle size. If you get too few
stitches on 10 cm = 4”, change to a smaller needle size.
