This pattern is knit from the middle out, firstly we knit from the crotch up then from the legs down, we are starting at the crotch and knitting up the body of the pants.
Firstly here is a tutorial on provisional cast on.
PROVISIONAL CAST ON: video tutorial
abbreviation:
PMY: place marker on yarn:
there will be four of these placed. they serve to marke the 4 sections when you recapture the stitches from the provisional cast on and split it for the legs and crotch.
Place a removable stitch marker OR piece of scrap yarn onto your working yarn and then continue as instructed keeping marker between the 2 stitches
PMN: place standard stitch marker on needle
Using contrasting scrap yarn cast on [92-112-132-152] stitches.
Ensuring no twists in the cast on, changing to main colour, begin working in round, in stockingette stitch unless otherwise stated.
ROW1: k1, PMY, PMN, k12, PMY, PMN, k[34-44-54-64], PMY, PMN, k12, PMY, PMN, k[17-22-27-32], PMN. This becomes the start and finish of the rows, there will remain [16-21-27-31] stitches not knit for this round, that is correct.
ROW2 (all even rows): knit till end, slipping all markers on needles.
ROW3: k[17-22-27-32] slip marker, k2tog, k8, sl1, k1, psso, slip marker, k[34-44-54-64], slip marker, k2tog, k8, sl1, k1, psso, slip marker, k[17-22-27-32]

ROW9: k[17-22-27-32] slip marker, k2tog, k2 sl1, k1, psso, slip marker, k[34-44-54-64], slip marker, k2tog, k2 sl1, k1, psso, slip marker, k[17-22-27-32]
ROW11: k[17-22-27-32] remove marker, k2tog, place marker(centre front), sl1, k1, psso, remove marker, k[34-44-54-64], remove marker, k2tog, place marker(centre back), sl1, k1, psso, remove marker, k[17-22-27-32] leave the marker inplace that has indicated the start and finish of rows, this will continue to be same for the entire body.
leaving [72-92-112-132] stitches.

Done here :)
Candice, I'm not sure but the small size in numbers doesn't add up... I have counted the instructions and it comes to 76 and you have 92..... or am I reading it wrong??? Or knitting it up wrong??
On my first row too:(
Feedback time Candice :)
I think it would be good to add some info to this section on the following:
- a statement that we are knitting up from where you would usually split for legs.
- There should probably be some explanation as to why the yarn markers are needed. I hadn't done this before and was a little confused as to why they were needed for a while. I eventually realised that they are needed for when you knit the legs down from here.
- Also the Row 1 instructions should probably state that the remaining sts on the provisional cast on yarn plus the first knitted st will be the beginning of the next row and that the last marker will be centre back/front.
Hope that helps :)
Done and ready for the next bit:D
I too found it a bit confusing...But I haven't heard of saokers until I joined Woolaholics.
Thanks Kathok for steering me in the right direction.
Once I understood the left over stitches started the next row...not a problem.:)
done although the slant on the decreases on the s1 k1 psso looks out ofplacein comparison to the k2tog. wonder if there is a better method to use to makeit look tidier.
Thanks ladies.. Kath i think you are right and i Will take all your comments on board. I will edit the post now, tell me what you thing.
D thatis to do with the direction of the knitting. its unavoidable but tends to settle in with blocking and use
