Boys Sweatpants – Jogger with Elastic Waist

This jogger-style sweatpants pattern is drafted for boys, with a pull-on elastic waist that keeps dressing simple and the fit relaxed. The easy shape suits everyday play, school mornings and lounging at home, and the straightforward construction makes it an approachable project for advanced beginners who want a quick, satisfying make.

Soft knits work best here. Fleece gives a warm, cosy pair for colder months, while French terry or a mid-weight sweatshirt knit keeps things breathable in spring and autumn. Wear the finished joggers with a simple tee in milder weather, or layer them under a coat on cold days; they also make comfortable trousers for long car journeys and weekends away.

Sizes run from 2Y to 12Y (2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y, 7Y, 8Y, 10Y, 12Y). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on A4 paper, and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
