Pull-On Pants with Hem Slits

Women's straight-leg pull-on trousers in knit fabric, with an elasticated waistband, front pockets with a separate side part and deep cuffs sewn on at the hem, slit at the outer side seam.

When To Wear

With a sweatshirt, long-sleeved T-shirt or knit cardigan.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, relaxed leg with no darts or pleats.

Length: Ankle length, ending in a deep cuff.

Waist: Separate waistband sewn into a ring and attached to the trousers, with 3 cm elastic inserted through an opening; no zip or fly.

Pockets: Curved front pocket openings with a separate side part forming the back of the pocket. The opening edge is interfaced and topstitched.

Back: Centre back seam, no pockets.

Legs: Cuffs cut as front and back fold-over parts, folded in half and stitched to the lower edge of the leg. The cuff side seam is left open below a mark, forming a slit at the outer side.

Finishing: Seams sewn with a narrow zigzag or stretch stitch so they keep their stretch.

Level Of Difficulty

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with a brushed or terry (looped) reverse side: jersey, knit-backed velvet.
