🧶 EASY CROCHET BABY PANTS PATTERN (Step-by-Step)

🧷 Skill Level:

Beginner to Easy – If you know how to chain, single crochet, and double crochet, you’re good to go!

📦 Materials Needed:

• Yarn: Soft DK weight (#3) or Worsted weight (#4) yarn (approx. 200–250g for 0–6 months)

  • Baby cotton or acrylic yarn recommended (washable and soft!)

• Hook: 4.0 mm (G/6) or 4.5 mm (7), depending on yarn thickness and tension

• Scissors

• Tapestry Needle (for weaving ends)

• Stitch Markers (optional)

• Measuring Tape

📏 Baby Pant Size Guide (0–3 Months)

• Waist circumference: ~14–16 inches (36–40 cm)

• Length from waist to ankle: ~12 inches (30 cm)

• Inseam: ~6–7 inches (15–18 cm)

This pattern is for 0–3 months. You can easily size up by adding stitches and rows.

🧵 Stitches Used:

• ch = chain

• sc = single crochet

• hdc = half double crochet

• dc = double crochet

• sl st = slip stitch

• blo = back loop only (optional ribbing)

✍️ Instructions: How to Crochet Easy Baby Pants

1️⃣ Waistband (Make a stretchy ribbed waistband)

Option A: Ribbed Waistband (Looks like elastic)

• Row 1: Ch 10

• Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (9 sc)

• Turn

• Rows 2–40 (approx.):
  Ch 1, sc in back loops only (blo) across (9 sc)
  Repeat until waistband is long enough to fit around the baby’s waist (~14–16 inches)

• Join ends with sl st to form a ring (waistband)

Option B: Simple Ch Waistband

• Ch enough to reach 14–16 inches

• Join to form a ring, then work 2–3 rows of hdc or dc to create a waistband

2️⃣ Body of Pants (Top to Crotch)

• Round 1:
  Work hdc or dc evenly all around the edge of the waistband (approx. 50–60 stitches, depending on waist size)

• Join with sl st and ch 1 (if using hdc) or ch 2 (if using dc)

• Rounds 2–10:
  Continue working in the round using hdc or dc (no increases)
  This forms the top half of the pants (from waistband to crotch)

3️⃣ Divide for Legs

After you reach the crotch length (about 5–6 inches from waistband):

• Count the total number of stitches

• Divide the stitches evenly into 2 halves (one for each leg)

✂️ Leg One:

• Join yarn at the beginning of one half

• Work in the round on just that leg

• Rounds 1–8 (or desired leg length):
  hdc or dc around
  Optional: Decrease 2–4 stitches evenly for a slightly tapered fit

• For last 2 rounds: Use sc in back loops only (blo) for a stretchy cuff look

• Fasten off, weave in ends

✂️ Leg Two:

• Attach yarn at the beginning of the second half

• Repeat as for leg one

4️⃣ Crotch Seam (If needed)

If there’s a gap between the legs, use a tapestry needle to sew the crotch seam closed.

You can also crochet a small gusset (triangle or rectangle piece) if needed for extra room (optional).

5️⃣ Optional: Add a Drawstring or Elastic

• Use a ch cord, ribbon, or elastic threaded through the waistband

• You can make buttonholes or work spaces for the drawstring

🧽 Finishing

• Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle

• Wash and block lightly if needed

🎀 Customization Ideas

• Stripes: Change color every few rows

• Cuffs: Use ribbing for a snug fit

• Drawstring: Crochet a chain cord and weave it through

• Matching sweater or hat: Make it a full baby outfit!
