Trousers for babies/children "Leon" (knitted look, sizes 0 m.–4 y.)

This PDF crochet pattern consists of illustrated tutorial for crocheting children's trousers (pants) "Leon". With this pattern you can quickly crochet beautiful baby trousers (children's trousers) in sizes 0-3 m., 3-6 m., 6-12 m., 12-24 m., 2-3 y., 3-4 y. for your child (grandchild). These trousers have no disturbing seams and have been crocheted with a distinctive spiral pattern. Crochet a comfortable pair of trousers for winter or summer (depending on the wool) for your child!

For the spiral pattern and for joining the trouser legs, I have created two videos explaining the first rounds and a crochet script for the spiral pattern. The videos can be watched with the link. The video for joining the trouser legs has also been uploaded here at CP as an additional file to the PDF file. With the videos and the crochet diagram, crocheting the trousers is much quicker and easier.

Attention: These trousers are partly crocheted with slip stitches. If you have never crocheted with slip stitches before, practice first with the old wool and crochet hook that is 0.5 - 1 size larger than the one recommended for your wool. Crochet the chain stitches very loosely.
