That's only $26 of wool NZpiper! Longies are more like $40 esp in toddler size. Tom might need less wool at his size anyway?]]> Sat, 17 May 2008 22:56:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17297&PID=386834&title=longies-photos#386834 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17297&PID=386826&title=longies-photos#386826 Author: kiwivic

I used bought 4 balls to make the large size and used nearly all of it (2 balls per leg, 1 ball in the first 80 rows up to your stitch markers). It was nice to get to the end and not have any wool wasted!

The above link was the pattern I used. Click on the downloadable PDF file for full, printable instructions. I used the pattern using straight needles, instead of circular needles

Here are a couple of pics of my finished longies, which I lanolized and put on Leo tonight on top of a Bitti Boo fitted. They look so cute on and were dead easy to knit - I've even bought some more wool to make another pair!

p.s. I'm not very good at attaching photos so please let me know if you can't see the pics.
