Knit 2 rows sc in a circle.
Next, we just lift our knitting upwards, so we made the appearance
rolled up trousers.
We make the strapping of the boot.
Where there is a transition from black to yellow, we knitted for the back loops, now we knit for the front half loops.
Knit one row sc in a circle.
We start the hook with the tip up.
We design the pants:
On row 49, we knit for the back loop, we begin to knit our belt for the remaining front loops.
Knit 4 rows of 70 sc in a circle.
Insert the hook with the tip down.
Next, we sew our belt below.
We embroider the “buckle” exactly in the middle. We embroider in gray.
Approximately 4 loops at the top and bottom and 3 loops on each side. Then we embroider a small strip on one side so that there is a feeling of a fastened belt. See the photo.
Next, one loop to the side of the buckle, we knit a chain of 30 ch mustard color, retreat sideways along the belt for about 20 loops and knit our chain behind.
Next, take the white yarnart jeans, divide the thread (I pulled out one thin strip) and embroider the scuffs on the pants.
It is not at all difficult to embroider scuffs, on one leg on my knee, on the other leg just above the knee.
We just take a needle and at a distance of 4 loops we embroider our scuffs “back and forth”.
If desired, you can slightly tint with white around the abrasions.
We make a jacket:
On row 70, in the transition from blue to yellow, we knitted on the back loop.
For the remaining front loops, knit one row of 30 sc in a circle.
