Recent endings

Longies, or woolies, or soakers have become very popular with the diaper set, and I was commissioned to make a couple pairs for my grandson. We chose two colors of Patton's Classic Wool to go with his current wardrobe, a verigated and a solid. For the pattern, I chose to use the Itchy Fingers Longies pattern, by Jessica, on Ravelry. This pattern is pretty math heavy, lots of calculations to be made before you can knit. But, the fit is wonderful, and I especially liked the gusset in the seat of the pants, and the short rows for the diaper area.

I used a seed stitch border for the hems, and enclosed elastic into the waist bands, which is not part of the pattern as written. Interestingly enough, the two yarns were entirely different weights, even though both were worsted weight.
