Pink and Purple yarn crocheted into an adorable pair of pants for a toddler.
To make your own, you need to begin by measuring your child. Measure around the widest part of their hips and their legs. Double the measurement of the leg and if it is larger use it to determine the length of your waisband. Also measure the length from your child's bellybutton to crotch. This will determine the rise or length of the body. Finally measure the length of your child's leg.
You will need a size F hook and enough yarn to crochet your project. I used apx. 5 oz. 3.5 in main color and 2 oz for waistband and embelishments. This garment fits a 3-12mo old. Measuring 23" for the waistband, 8" for the rise, and 13" for the cropped leg.

Signing UpStep 1Making the waistband:
Begin by crocheting a chain (ch) of 10.
Row 1: Turn and single crochet (sc) in the 2nd ch from hook. SC in each ch. (9 sc)
Row 2: CH 1 turn and sc in the outside loop of each sc. (9 sc)
Repeat rows 1 and 2 till your crocheted waistband is the same width as the hips of your child.
Now you need to join both ends of the waistband to form a circle. Slip stich (ss) to join. Finish off if changing colors.

Neat! I've never actually crocheted clothing before- you make it seem much less scary. ;)

It really isn't that scary. You just have to know the language. Abbreviations are the hardest part. A good how to crochet book should have definitions for each abbreviation. Instructions for each step also help. Feel free to ask questions. I'll help if I can.
