A peer of mine from high school asked me to make a couple pairs for her baby. I have to start off with admitting I had no idea what these were by their name until I did a google image search.
Tad-da! They are just knit sweatpants! (+100% wool to be absorbent as soakers).

So for my first pair & experiment, I'm using Patons Classic Wool in Aran with US size 2 circular needles, 104 stitches. I'll keep you posted on a developed pattern once I have a better idea of what I'm doing. :)

I'll be fitting these to the children I babysit since I don't have any of my own & my friend is in North Carolina, so I can't use her child, either.

Finally got passed the short rows in the bum (for bulky diapers) & am experimenting with a kitchener-stitched crotch. |
So if you have any advise, suggestions or wisdom on this kind of pattern, please leave it in the comments.
