Low Rise Lounge Pants Pattern
Low Rise Lounge Pants Pattern
Couldn't load pickup availability
Inspired by the first ever pair of pants I made back in 2006 and was obsessed with low-rise everything. Waist is intended to sit low, but not quite Christina Aguilera low.
Choose between an elastic waistband or an optional drawstring for adjustability. Make them in soft wovens for classic lounge pants or in knits for an extra cozy, pull-on feel.

Sizes: XS–XXL
Fit: Comfy casual pants with a soft huggy shape. They sit comfortably below the natural waist for a true low-rise fit, with a relaxed shape through the hips and thighs and gentle flare at the hem.
