The elastic waist is machine sewn, ensuring comfort and a great fit for all body types.

Available in sizes XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X), this versatile pattern caters to a wide range of body types. The finished measurements include waist sizes of 23 (25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44) inches and hip sizes of 33 (35, 38, 42, 46, 50, 54) inches.

You can easily adjust the measurements by changing the cast-on stitches, modifying the number of hip increases, or altering the length to achieve your desired fit and style.

To get started, you will need approximately 800-1500 yards of King Cole Bamboo Cotton in a cheerful yellow shade, depending on the size you choose. We recommend using size 6 circular needles for a smooth knitting experience. Additionally, you'll need a 3-inch wide black elastic waistband, measuring approximately 23 (25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44) inches, to complete the construction. Be sure to gather 2 Marker A and 4 Marker B for marking your stitches, along with a sewing machine for attaching the elastic waist.
