The Willow Bloomers are comfortable knitted bloomers featuring a beautiful 2×2 garter rib stitch and a soft ribbed finish at the leg openings. The design includes a knitted I-cord threaded through the waistband eyelets, with optional knitted suspenders for an extra detail.

The Willow Bloomers are knitted in two separate pieces: the front and the back. The pattern begins at the waist and is worked down towards the leg cuffs. The two pieces are then sewn together along the side seams and the crotch.
An I-cord is threaded through the eyelets at the waistband, and the optional knitted suspenders can be added if desired.
The pattern includes explanatory photographs and video tutorials to help you along the way.
