Kokomo Pants Knitting Pattern (English)
Kokomo Pants are worked in a mesh pattern,from the bottom up and can be made with wide legs or with cuffs at the ankle. The pants can be made in a single colour or with a fade from the middle of the thigh. Along the crotch seam decreases are worked and to work the back of the pants longer short rows are worked for a beautiful fit. The waist is made by a casing with a wide elastic band, which can be adjusted according to your waist measurements.
Choice of size
The pants have a negative ease of 10-15 cm. This means you should choose a size measuring 10-15 cm less than your hip circumference. If your hip measures 102 cm, you should choose a size M with a circumference of 90 cm. The waist measurement is adjusted exactly to your size using the elastic band.
