Need Pattern: Knit Pull-On Pants Need Pattern: Knit Pull-On Pants
Lisa in The Lowcountry Advanced Member since 6/3/10 Posts: 2	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/5/12 2:01 PM I've shopped and shopped for some khaki colored knit pull-on pants and have decided it's time to fire-up the long-sleeping sewing machine! Can anyone recommend a good pattern? I'm a 16 with a slightly longer than average inseam (but lots of talls are too long!) I also want a leg that is at least slightly flared or wider. I really want the comfort and fit that knits offer but don't have serger and will have to sew them on a regular sewing machine with the stretch stitching it offers. I'd also like to use a fabric that's mid-weight so I can pretty much wear them year-round (we have very mild winters here in Charleston, SC!). Pattern suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

It is pricy $15 but the crotch curve is great. I have used Sofia knits from JoAnn or Hancocks, however I have never seen khaki. Don't be put off by the Yoga pant label. The only issue I have had with the Sofia knit is that it collects cat hair like crazy. ------ Ada

I want to make these like the poly fleece pants previously available every Fall at Costco. the legs are quite straight and loose-fitting and hemmed bottoms. Anyone got a suggestion, please? ------ Linda Bernina 830LE Bernina B530 Janome 6600P Pfaff 1209 Babylock Evolution Janome 644D

It has a loose leg and elastic waist. The PalmerPletsch fitting/alteration lines on the pattern and fitting instructions were helpful. I liked the wearable muslins I made enough and plan to sew it again (with a little more tweaking) in the future. They were my 2nd pants pattern, the first being KwikSew's Learn to Sew elastic waist pants, so I can't offer much for comparison.

Haven't tried the bottoms yet, but plan to eventually. They come in 2 styles, cuffed and uncuffed. HTH's

There are a lot of size increments so you should be able to find your size. Peggy's patterns are always well drafted. I've made at least 6 variations by now. One of them is a pair in a khaki knit with front pockets and seaming down the front of the pants. They are dressy enough for work.

My other favorite knit pull on pant is New Look 6735. I made those pants from a very stretchy rayon Lycra and have almost worn them out! I wore them all thru my pregnancy, even. Funny that one pair of pants looked great on both my pre pregnant body and my pregnant one. The fabric I used made them very drapey, which I liked. A medium weight matte jersey work well, too, and I think I have seen khaki matte jersey before.... ------ Raye Ann
