Pants for the Toy

You can crochet in regular rounds. Or use turning rows, that is, after each sl st at the end of a row, turn the work and crochet in the opposite direction (this makes the texture more raised).

Make a chain of 20 ch, sl st into the first chain. You get a ring.

Cut yarn. Join yarn at the center front, crochet 1 tch, 5 sc. Continue like this for 4-5 rows upward. Edge the whole piece around the perimeter with sc. From the bib front, crochet two straps of 19 ch each upward, then fasten them at the back in a crisscross.

You can also make a drawstring from chain stitches and thread it through the waist. The pants are ready.
