Lace Leggings

A 'Knitting for Olive' design - PDF or Printed Pattern 

The Lace Leggings are worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. Short-rows shape the back, and a lace motif adds interest to the stockinette stitching and appeal of the overall look. The waistband folds down into a hem casing for an I-cord drawstring for the smaller sizes, and an elastic for the larger ones. The leggings fit slightly cropped, to ensure that the lace motif is visible when the child is wearing boots, and instructions indicate where to add length to the finished measurements.
