Notes

My first project in linen stich! The technique is simple, and I manage to knit quite fast after doing it for a few of hours. Interesting texture, but the waistband might need additional elastic not to get too wide.

I have chaged the gusset, knitting it in stockinette (3-5 stiches in the front and back) with increases first, and then decreases after starting on the legs. It seems to work!

Finished at june 19th! I am very happy with the result :D

8/31:we have used this for a while now, and love it! I have sewn in some elastic in the waistband. I used a quite thin round elastic cord and used a tapestry needle and added two “rounds” of elastic, works perfect!
