<p>Size 5 US needles and worsted weight yarn or whatever you need to get gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows over 4 inches. I knit tightly...</p> <p>Using a circular needle or double pointed needles: Cast on 90 for medium [70 for small, 110 for large]</p> <h3 id="waist-ribbing">Waist Ribbing</h3> <p>Join the ends and k1, p1, repeating to end of round. Continue k1, p1 ribbing until you've finished 20 rounds (you may want to do 30 for a large soaker).</p> <h3 id="hips">Hips</h3> <p>Knit for 40 [30, 40] rounds.</p> <h3 id="bottom-and-crotch">Bottom and Crotch</h3> <p>If you want to weave the ends together — bind off 40 [30, 50] stitches then knit to end of row.</p> <p>If you want to graft them together — bind off 10 [5, 10] stitches, k20 [20, 30], bind off 10 [5, 10], knit to end of row and move the separated 20 stitches to a stitch holder.</p> <p>Work the remaining 50 [40, 60] stitches as if on single pointed needles (you can switch to them if you want but I prefer to use circular for everything):</p> <p>Slip first stitch knitwise, k2tog, knit to end of row, turn. Slip first stitch purlwise, p2tog, purl to end of row.</p> <p>Repeat the previous two rows until you have 20 [20, 30] stitches on the needle (about 30 [20, 30] rows).</p> <p>To continue with the crotch: Slip first stitch knitwise then knit to end of row, turn. Slip first stitch purlwise then purl to end of row.</p> <p>Repeat the previous two rows until you've finished 50 [40, 60] rows.</p> <p>You can weave or graft this end to the front of the soaker before or after you knit the ribbing for the legs.</p> <h3 id="leg-ribbing">Leg Ribbing</h3> <p>Using single pointed needles if you wait to connect the crotch or double pointed needles if you've already done it:</p> <p>Pick up an even number of stitches at 5 stitches per inch around the legs knit one full row. k1, p1, repeat this to the end of row. Repeat the previous row 29 more times then bind off loosely.</p> <p>If you haven't joined the two ends at the crotch, do so now and weave the ends of the leg ribbing together, too!</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://i.snap.as/PGhYWyYW.jpg"/></p> <p><em>You are welcome to distribute this pattern and use the ideas included and gift or sell whatever you make from it.
