I first shared these knitted “Monster Bum” pants in 2011 and over the years it’s been one of the most popular posts on KnitHacker – there are over 670 projects on Ravelry! Here’s a pattern to knit your own!

The version you see here was made and shared by Rachel of Remily Knits (she shares a few of the modifications she made, which I think are terrific improvements) – original pattern here.

if you click on the image, you’ll be taken to the original maker’s flickr page. send them a message and they might be able to help.

you could also google “crankypants” which i’m certain these monster bum pants are based on.

Angie, where do you see the pattern for $80. I spent three seconds on a search and found it for free:
