Join Lulu Ferris to watch the complete class and sew along at your own pace.
What you’ll make
Sew soft knit pants with enclosed feet for a baby, keeping little feet covered without separate socks.
The pants finish with a wide, elastic-free knit waistband. It stretches for dressing, sits comfortably around the middle, and provides generous lower-back coverage.
What you’ll learn in this class
- Cut mirrored leg, upper-foot, and sole pieces.
- Match curved knit pieces without distorting them.
- Attach each upper foot and sew around the sole.
- Join the legs through the curved center seam.
- Finish stretch seams with zigzag or overlock stitching.
- Quarter and attach the folded waistband evenly.
Fabric choice
This project is designed for knit fabric. Use a ballpoint or stretch needle; an even-feed foot can help keep the small layers aligned.
Pay attention to print direction when cutting the mirrored legs and foot pieces.
Make it your own
Choose a lightweight or warmer knit according to the season.
Coordinate the pants with the knotted baby hat for a matching newborn set.
Pattern sizing
The pattern includes preemie, newborn, 0–1 month, 1–3 months, 3–6 months, and 6–9 months sizes.
The complete video class includes a downloadable A4 pattern for the pants, folded waistband, upper-foot pieces, and soles.
