Frilly gorilla knickers

Phew. It's been a long time between posts. I have been crafting, honest, just apathetic when it comes to recording it.

Here are the much feted frilly knickers that I knitted for Mr Gorilla. They are colour co-ordinated to match his dress.

I adapted a pattern from an old Family Circle knitting magazine and, for those interested, it goes like this:

With 2.75mm needles, cast on 28 sts. Work 4 rows in rib (K1, P1). Change to 3.00mm needles and st st 12 rows. Cast off 4 sts at the beginning of the next 6 rows until you are left with only 4 sts on your needle. St st 12 rows. cast on 4 sts at the beginning of the next 6 rows until you are back to 28 sts on your needle. St st 12 rows. Change to 2.75mm needles and rib 4 rows (K1, P1). Cast off in rib.

To make up:

Sew side seams. For shell edges use a 3.00mm crochet hook and work * 2dc, 3ch, sl st in 1st ch * Repeat from * to * around the legs using a contrast colour.
