For all you cloth diapering mamas who don't knit. I have attempted to explain how I made a pair of crochet longies. The pattern isn't perfect since I have only made one pair, but I hope someone finds it useful.

Thanks so much for posting this pattern! I am trying it out right now using Fishermen's Wool (Lion Brand Yarn) and you are right-- the fabric I've created is SUPER thick.
This is by far the best free crochet longies pattern I have found! Great directions, diagrams and photo, and stylish end product! Thumbs up!!!
Hi -- i've made straight-legged longies like this using Peace Fleece. They worked great, but eventually dd wore holes in the wool in the knees, so i tore them out and decided no more vertical dc longies :) . But i wanted to suggest a way to close the side seam that is unnoticeable -- i was able to dc a seam by picking up loops through both of the sides to be sewn together. It's invisible, because it's just another dc row. Thank you for sharing this free crochet longies pattern -- they can be hard to come by!
thanks for the great free pattern! i did a pair in sc w/ a bl sl st waistband. the waistband is a little tight, but not bad since i mostly eyeballed it. here's some pics

Thanks so much for the pattern! It was easy to follow even as a complete novice. All of my "oops" factors are all on me- but if you'd like to see how they turned out I blogged about it:

I think I may try the conditioner trick to get some wiggle room back into the pants. If not they'll be night time longies only...
