What You’ll Need
Before starting, make sure you have all the materials ready:
- Baby Merino yarn in the color of your choice
- Crochet hook (size appropriate for the yarn)
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors for cutting yarn
Once you have everything in place, you’re ready to start crocheting these adorable pants!
Creating the Waistband
The first step is to crochet the waistband, which is done using a combination of single crochet stitches and chains to create a ribbed effect.
This ribbing provides a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring the pants stay up while allowing for stretch. The waistband is worked flat initially and then joined to form a loop.
Crocheting the Body of the Pants
Once the waistband is complete, it’s time to move on to the body of the pants. This part is crocheted using double crochet stitches and chains, creating a soft and flexible texture.
The body is worked in the round, which means you won’t have to worry about seams, making the pants more comfortable for the baby.
Why Work in the Round?
Working in the round not only makes these pants seamless but also adds to their overall comfort. There’s no need to join pieces together at the end, saving you time and making the pants smoother for the baby to wear.

Adding the Drawstring
For a cute and functional detail, the pattern includes instructions for adding a drawstring at the waistband. This is done using a simple chain stitch, making it easy for beginners to complete.
The drawstring can be adjusted to ensure a snug fit, adding a charming touch to the final design.
