Dh just mentioned the other night that he wouldn't mind if I made him some boxer briefs like ds' to try out. Funny because I specifically asked him if he would like that style and he said no, he liked the boxers I already make him (wovens). Anyhow now that I know he is open to trying them I'd like to make him a red and black monkey pair like ds' but I need a pattern.

Anybody got any ideas?

Not that I know of . . . Jalie does though.

They both are great patterns.

Sarah . . . no BUT . . . the long underwear pattern is essentially the same pattern, and it goes up to 170 in boy's. I've been using that pattern for Nigel, (for a size reference, he wears just shy of an adult size "S"). At first I thought it would be wierd to have a back panel, and I may still just make the back/side "one piece on fold", but I looked at dh's RTW boxer briefs, and they have almost an identical back extra panel.

I haven't tried scaling it up yet to an adult M, but I plan to, as I got a bunch of that gray cotton/lycra Evil Stephen was pushing just for the purpose of family boxer-briefs. It really won't be too much of an increase, I'm thinking.
