Stretchy, colourful, and warm, these little pants feature colourful designs along the legs using two-colour stranded techniques. Instructions include short row shaping, “grow-with-me” cuffs and waistbands that give extra time before sizing up and a drawstring waist that keeps the pants in place no matter how much crawling, walking, or running they endure.
