Straight Up Pants Knitting pattern (English)

Straight Up Pants is a pair of tight-fitting pants with straight legs and a delicate stripe structure made from alternating between two yarns of different fibres.

First off the waistband is worked and assembled with an elastic band. The pants are worked from the top down with increases on each side of the crotch seam front and back and short rows at the back for a nice fit. The legs are worked straight down and finished with a roll hem.
