I really wanted to knit a pair of pants for my son. "A pair of pants where everything stays in and the back stays warm." In addition, the pants should grow with the child. Since I could not find any patterns online that met my requirements, I wrote a pattern myself.
The dungarees are knitted from top to bottom. The pants have practical cuffs, which can initially be turned over and later used as an extension. The suspenders also support the growth of the pants.
