These wee trousers/leggings have been in the making for so long that I can't actually remember when I started them. It has been one of those projects that would get a wee bit done and then sit aside for ages before the next wee bit got tackled. That said they actually went together really well and I love the result.
The pattern I used was once again from an Ottobre mag, this time from issue 1/2011 pattern number 9. There was something about this pattern that jumped out at me when I was looking for leggings to go with the
Fiona's Top I knitted for Miss M at the end of last year. I had some fabric in stash in the perfect colour to match so it was just a matter of getting them made. I love the wee gathers at the bottom of the legs on these and I picked up the perfect vintage buttons for the finishing touch from
Holland Road Yarn Company a few weeks ago :-)
So here they are...

The legs are the same length they are just sitting funny in the photo |
I made a 68cm size and Miss M was approx 68cm at last measuring which was some time ago now. The rise is good on her over a cloth bum and there is plenty of length in the leg still for her, if anything they are a bit long at the moment.
