Fynn’s Trousers

A free pattern by Sandra Hansen, permission granted for using this pattern for personal use and
sale of finished items for a good cause

I designed this pair of trousers for the teddy

bear Fynn by Steiff. You start knitting one
leg, continue with the gusset between the
legs. The second leg is joined with the first
one using the gusset stitches. The rest of the
trousers is knit in rounds. The belly and the
bottom are given room by short rows.

I knit the matching cardigan to with them:
