Willow Bloomers Knitting Pattern

The Willow Bloomers knitting pattern features comfortable knitted bloomers with a beautiful 2×2 garter rib stitch and a soft ribbed finish at the leg openings. In addition, the design includes a knitted I-cord threaded through the waistband eyelets, with optional knitted suspenders for an extra detail.

To begin with, the bloomers are knitted in two separate pieces: the front and the back. First, you work from the waist down towards the leg cuffs. Then, you sew the two pieces together along the side seams and the crotch. Finally, you thread the I-cord through the waistband eyelets. If desired, you can also add the optional knitted suspenders.
