It took me about 3 days to finish these, I just finished them up a little while ago and I love them. They are the only pants that don't come down over his feet when he crawls. I've got to make a few more pairs of these, lol.

They are made from fisherman's wool and I'm going to dip dye them tonight or tomorrow, I picked up some koolaid yesterday. I used that pattern I posted from crochetville, but I added extra length and at the leg ribbing I realized she didn't put the whole instructions, so I had to figure it out on my own, lol.

I'm very proud of myself, lol, it's the first time I actually figured out a somewhat complex pattern, lol. They were fairly easy to crochet, though I'd never done crochet ribbing before, it was neat to learn how to do it.

They look great! I can't wait to see the after pic. What pattern did you use? Or is it your own pattern?

Baby Longies Pattern (http://p084.ezboard.com/fcrochetvillefrm53.showMessage?topicID=21.topic)

Okay and my changes are because my baby is in 18 months clothing, I needed longer pants and he's very long waisted.

Changes:

-I added a row to the body so instead of 12 rows, I did 13.
-I added a row to each leg so it went to 11 rows for the first part and then I added an extra row for the decreasing, so I decreased for 2 rows and ended up with a total of 13 rows
-then for the leg ribbing, either I'm stupid, or she only put in 4 rows and you're doing this around the entire leg, so you need a lot more rows, lol. So this is what her instructions and below it I'll put what I did:

LEG RIBBING:
Change to H hook

Row 1: ch 5, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next 4 chs. sl st in same space as chain, sl st in next st.

Row 2: Turn (do not ch) sk sl sts, sc in back loop only of next 4 sts. ch 1 turn

Row 3: sc in back loops only of next 4 sts, sl st in next 2 sts,
Row 4: turn, sc in back loop only of next 4 scs. fasten off and weave in ends

I did Row 1, then I did Row 2 for every "even" row and did Row 3 for every "odd" row until I was down to the last row and then did Row 4. It worked out just fine.
