Bean Sprout Bloomers are worked from the bottom up, both flat and in the round, using 1 strand of Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk. You start working and shaping front and back crotch separately back and forth before work is joined and continued in the round. If you prefer, you can cast on using provisional cast-on in order to avoid seaming at the crotch, or alternatively (as pictured), cast on using long-tail cast on and then sew the crotch edges together afterwards. After joining to work in the round, the bloomers are further shaped in the back with German short rows. Stitches are picked up for the leg openings and the edges worked in the round. The bloomers are finished with a folded waistband and an i-cord drawstring.The Bean Sprout stitch pattern is charted only.
