Pattern notes
Pants are worked from Cuffs up to Waistband in Yarn A, with legs
knitted flat in pieces then joined at top by Waistband worked in the round. Crotch seams are sewn tog and short rows are worked on back to make it slightly higher than front for a better fit. An i-cord drawstring is then worked and inserted into Waistband. Decorative details are embroidered in Yarns B-E before joining inside Leg seams. Refer to schematics for guidance. Legs are worked in st st (single strand of yarn), and Cuffs and waistband are worked in 1 x 1 rib, holding two strands of yarn tog. Legs are shaped by increasing equally on both sides to crotch; then front and back rises are shaped differently at same time. Decs are always worked 3 sts away from edge.
