Step 1: Make the Granny Squares
You’ll need approximately:
-
6 large granny squares (front and back of thighs)
-
4 medium squares (for hips and outer sides)
-
6 small squares (for knees and filler spaces)
-
Optional: 2 rectangular panels for pockets
Granny Square Pattern (basic):
Round 1: Start with a magic ring. Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc into the ring, ch 2, 3 dc — repeat from * three more times. Sl st to join.
Rounds 2–4: Continue in the traditional granny square pattern, switching colors as desired.
Fasten off and block all squares so they lay flat.
Step 2: Assemble the Panels
Lay out your squares for one leg:
-
Stack 3 squares vertically for the front
-
Stack 3 more for the back
Repeat for the second leg.
Join squares using a whip stitch or single crochet seam on the wrong side for a smooth finish.
Step 3: Create the Lower Leg Panels
For the knee-to-ankle section, crochet a mesh-style or V-stitch panel.
Example (V-stitch) pattern:
-
Row 1: Ch a multiple of 2 + 2, turn
-
Row 2: Dc, ch 1, skip 1 across
-
Row 3+: Repeat until your panel reaches desired length
Attach this panel to the bottom of each leg section.
Step 4: Join Front and Back
-
Seam the inner thighs and inseams together using whip stitch or single crochet
-
Join the outer sides, leaving space for pockets
-
Finally, connect both legs at the crotch with strong, secure stitches
Step 5: Add the Waistband
Using a 4.0 mm hook, work single crochets around the top opening of the pants.
Continue for 4–6 rows. On the final row, insert your drawstring or elastic.
Optional: For a more polished look, create a ribbed waistband by alternating front and back post double crochets.
Step 6: Make and Attach the Pockets
You can either use extra granny squares or make rectangular pocket panels.

Chain 15

Work in half double crochet (hdc) for 15 rows
