Knitting For Olive | Oat Pants Pattern & Yarn Pack
Textured Comfort from Cuff to Waist
Snuggly and stylish, the Oat Pants by Knitting for Olive are a baby wardrobe essential, designed for warmth, movement, and everyday wear.
Knit from the bottom up in the round, these pants feature a softly textured stitch pattern made from a simple mix of knits and purls. Each leg is worked separately, then joined at the crotch and shaped using intuitive charted instructions. The design finishes with a folded waistband, complete with an i-cord drawstring for a snug, adjustable fit.
Made with one strand of Knitting for Olive Merino, these trousers offer all the cosy warmth and breathability of premium, ethically sourced wool. The Merino’s natural softness is perfect for delicate skin, making it ideal for baby garments that need to be both gentle and durable.
