Always wanted a pair of edible panties? Been too embarrassed to buy them, or had no time for an extra shopping trip? Found the prices in those fancy boutiques were just too high? The clever knitter can make her own pair in a jiffy for very low dough! The supplies can be picked up on a regular Friday errand route -- chopsticks with the Chinese takeout, candy at the video store -- and no one will be the wiser! Enjoy your meal, then cast on at the beginning of the movie, and the panties will be ready for dessert after the credits!
Like all fine lingerie, these panties are very delicate. Knit gently. If you need your L-string to last longer than a few hours before use, you will need to keep the panties moist. This can be accomplished by wrapping the panties in plastic, or for extended storage needs, spraying with a vegetable oil spray and then wrapping.

For back string, cut [or tie, as necessary] a strand to double the needed length to give your desired rise measurement.
Thread strand through center st at CO edge of panties and knot ends. This gives you a double strand for the back string portion.
Cut [or tie] double strand to desired waist measurement plus 6-8 inches. Slip sts onto double strand, and then thread double strand under knot in back string.
Tie to desired waist measurement.
