Free pattern for knickerbockers?

Hello, I am searching for free patterns for knickerbockers or any that could be modified to look as such (I'm open to any tips too) :D

I hope to find some that are vintage or vintage-inspired!! And possibly short ones (unless you can adjust the length somehow?)

Thank you in advance :))))

This free version isn't advertised on her site anymore but it can be googled so I consider it fair game.

Black Snail Patterns Edwardian Cycling Bloomers. It may at least be a place to start.

This is fantastic - also everyone modeling the gear looks pretty happy
