PANTIES FOR AMERICAN GIRL DOLL

#6 needles - yarn matching dress or skirt in #2, 3, or 4 weight

Cast on 26 stitches. Rib in K1, P1 for 4 rows. Knit in stockinette stitch for 12 rows.
Next row: Knit 2 together, knit 22, Knit 2 together
Next row: Purl 2 together, purl 20, Purl 2 together
Continue to DECREASE in this manner until you have 6 stitches on the needle.
Knit these 6 stitches for 8 rows.
Next row: Knit & increase in the first stitch, Knit 4, Knit & increase in the last stitch.
Next Row: Purl & increase in the first stitch, Purl 6, Purl and increase in the last stitch.
Continue to INCREASE in this manner until you have 26 stitches on the needle.
Knit 12 rows. Rib in K1, P1 for 4 rows. Bind off. Sew side seams.

NOTE: You will be knitting the front of the panties, narrowing for the legs,down to the crotch area, knit a few stitches to accommodate her puffy cloth body, then you will increase up the sides for the legs, knit the body of the back of the panties - all in one piece. You will then fold the garment from bottom up to the ribbed top - sew the side seams.
THANKS so much. What a SUPER easy pattern. Just what my knitting group NEEDS to add to AG dresses. We make/donate to local charities.
THRILLED to have found this post/
