Pants

These pants were supposed to be ready before 17th of June, our Independence day, instead they were finished on the 18th...  they took forever to finish on 2.5 and 2 mm needles. But they are worth the effort, they can be used now and will hopefully fit through next winter as well.

I made several attempts to photograph the owner of the pants, but she just gives me this fake cry and smiling simultanously . But of course I pick her up for her efforts and she knows it works so this is the face I see very often.

Pattern:  Babystrik på pinde 3
Yarn: Dale baby wool
Needles: 2 and 2.5 mm
Modification:  cast on 144 stitches, no decreases after the belly-ribbing, before the ribbing at the bottom of the feet decrease in the last round to 52 stitches.  I made them longer than the stitch count for this width called for.
Notestoself: the belly ribbing might be tighter, and then maybe increase in the first round after the belly-ribbing.
