Construction
This top down seamless straight legged pant begins with a folded-over waistband. Super simple short rows are worked to create a higher rise in the back. Then hip increases are worked on the center back and fronts. The legs are separated and more short rows are worked for booty shaping. The legs are worked by knitting even and are finished with a rolled edge.
